Art

To love a painting is to feel that this presence is… not an object but a voice.

 The Adoration of the Shepherds

by

Francesco Bassano the Younger 

Might it have been like this, on that night in Bethlehem?  Most likely not, I am sure this painting captures the Italian Renaissance more than the time period when Christ was born; but I do feel a sense of reverence and indeed adoration — Merry Christmas!

Art can never exist without naked beauty displaced.
