Martin Schongauer, 1445-1491 : an exhibition of engravings by the master to be held. In his view, Schongauer in this print found a new, harmonious composition for the conventional elements of this crucial scene of Christianity - the ruins of Salomon's temple, the naked Christ Child resting on the Virgin's coat, Joseph standing humbly in the background holding a candle or lantern, the donkey and the oxen with 'faithful, humanised' glance, the adoring shepherds, the annunciating and the jubilant angels - which would become the example for countless depictions of this scene all over Europe. Max Lehrs considered this Nativity one of the Schongauer's greatest achievements as a printmaker, 'and possibly of German art as a whole'. ![]()
