The artist is Giotto Di Bondone and time of creation is from 1304-1306 for this oil painting, but it can be found in Firenze. It is simply titled, Nativity- Birth of Jesus. Christ is depicted as a child and I am drawn to this image because it reminds me of family and loving relationships. To me Christ, is like a loving son that will always remember me and always love me no matter what. For these reasons I believe that Christ is a loving person just from looking at this picture.

The image reminds us of how strikingly simple the manger scene was as Jesus' birth, the only fanfare being the host of angels. Sheep, cows, and donkeys are not usually the ones to first view a triumphant birth, but it shows us how Jesus truly became one with humanity.
