EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Nativity scene is taken from the Lübeck Bible, a beautifully illustrated German bible printed in Lübeck, Germany in 1494. The bible, also known as the Lübecker Bibel, is a prime example of late Gothic illumination and is renowned for its high-quality illustrations. The Nativity scene depicts the momentous events surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ as described in the New Testament. In the center, Mary cradles the newborn infant Jesus, who lies on a bed of straw. Joseph looks on with awe and reverence, while the shepherds, represented by three figures, pay homage to the newborn King. The animals in the stable, including an ox and an ass, look on curiously. The Lübeck Bible was produced during a time when the production of illuminated manuscripts was in decline due to the increasing popularity of the printing press. Despite this, the Lübeck Bible remains a testament to the enduring craftsmanship and artistic skill of the late Gothic period. The Nativity scene, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a visual representation of the awe and wonder felt by the shepherds and the importance of the birth of Jesus Christ to the Christian faith. This image offers a glimpse into the rich artistic and religious history of the late Middle Ages and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the Nativity story to inspire and captivate audiences over the centuries.
