Timeline photos
One of Botticelli's most spectacular paintings 'Mystic Nativity' depicts the birth of Christ, celebrated as the glorious revelation of God on Earth in a unique and colourful image. Set in a glade within a forest, the stable where Christ is born is shown with a thatched roof pitched over the opening of a rocky cavern. The infant Christ reaches up towards the Virgin Mary, oblivious of his visitors, the Three Kings stand on the left and the shepherds on the right. The golden dome of heaven has opened up and becomes visible from earth, encircled by twelve angels holding olive branches entwined with scrolls, a symbol of peace. 🕊️
The meeting of the divine and the human in the new-born Christ is shown symbolically in the embrace of three pairs of angels and men in the foreground. Among their feet, winged demons and tiny horned devils scuttle for shelter in the underworld through cracks in the rocks. This is an unusual sight in a nativity scene, thought to have been added by Botticelli as a commentary on political events of the period. This painting looks forward to the fulfilment of peace and to man’s reconciliation with God: https://bit.ly/3xXSxr2

💚 Farm at Watendlath, by Dora Carrington, 1921 💚
•
Always loved this Dora painting of Cumbria. Painted on honeymoon, Dora was a member of the Bloomsbury Group of artists, she studied at Slade School of Art and was known as Carrington (she thought Dora was rather too ‘sentimental’). Carrington also rarely signed her work or exhibited, meaning she was not that well known during her lifetime. I wonder how she’d feel knowing this painting is now on display at Britain🌟

This painting is part of our ‘Four Seasons’ tour which you can book via our website www.thelittlegrandtour.co.uk/summer-2021
