Why it's great
Mary and Joseph look at the baby Jesus, who glows in the night, while an ox and a donkey watch. Lorenzo Lotto painted it in 1523, and the glow from the baby lights their faces.

Lorenzo Lotto was a Venetian painter born in 1480, who traveled a lot and painted psychologically sharp portraits. His religious paintings have a quirky charm. He died in Loreto in 1556.
