Ancient oil painting on canvas of Neapolitan manufacture depicting the Nativity. Period: 18th century. Era: Early 18th century

Ancient oil painting on canvas of Neapolitan manufacture belonging to the early 18th century.
The depiction of the Nativity is seen here as a moment of contemplation of the Holy Child, by Mary and Joseph, accompanied by little angels. The composition of the scene is occupied by various characters represented by dark colors, colors that belong to the pictorial movement that played on the strong contrasts of darkness and light, of light and dark.
Also in this work the light radiated by the Child Jesus illuminates the figures around Him and makes them emerge from the surrounding darkness.
A host of angels holds a festoon with the writing "Gloria in excelsis deo".

Conditions: Good condition.

Provenance: Naples 18th century.
