Madonna and Child Nativity – by Albert Edelfelt – Christmas Navity – Bethlehem – Catholic Art Print – Archival Quality Catholic wedding gif to let the artistic qualitiesThis very tender and reverent picture of Mary and Baby Jesus shows them in the stable at Bethlehem, in the still of the evening, with Jerusalem in view behind them. There is a stillness to it, and the attachment between mother and child seems very intense, and very quiet. The blue light over the town has a dreamy, moonlit quality, but the light of love between Jesus, the light of the world, and Mary seems warm and wonderful. Albert Gustaf Aristides
