Product Details
This touching depiction of the Nativity by Lorenzo Lotto is available as a premium framed canvas in large sizes - perfect for your parish, office, school, or home! Painted in 1523 by the Venetian artist, this image shows the pure and pious parents of Jesus - Mary and Joseph - in adoration of God-made-flesh. The Christ Child in a basket of hay is reaching up to His parents amidst a rustic barnyard and three angels proclaiming His birth. Most unusual and unique about this image is the crucifix in the shadows - pointing to the reason Christ came, to save fallen humanity - and the mousetrap, on which the artist signed his name in the lower right corner.
Large canvases can be custom manufactured to meet your specifications. Several standard sizes are available.
Due to the sizes of these items, shipping and freight will be calculated at a later time.
Product Features
This particular item, an archival-quality giclé
- e canvas in a beautiful solid wood frame, comes in large sizes so that you can use it for a church. Handcrafted in Steubenville, Ohio, this touching devotional piece is sure to be treasured for years to come!

Nelson framed canvases are second only to the original masterpieces themselves! Solid wood, deluxe frames and premium stretcher bars support our breathtaking giclee religious canvases. Giclee is a french word that means "sprayed ink," and it refers to our museum-quality printing process whereby 8 different colored inks combine to create millions of colors that are slowly sprayed into canvas material. This high-tech method of art reproduction offers the highest possible fidelity to the original work and results in a clear depiction with colors as good (or sometimes better) than the original painting. Under archival conditions, giclee canvases have a total color fidelity guarantee for 70-100 years. For the faithful Catholic that wishes their sacred art to be blessed with holy water: canvases are sparingly water repellant, so while a typical blessing should not damage the canvas whatsoever, those who favor more robust uses of holy water should take caution near the art.
