The works of Italian Renaissance painter Mariotto Albertinelli depicts the sacred moment of Jesus. In the foreground, the newly born Jesus looks at Mary kneeling on her right hand, and the serene and holy virgin looks at Christ with a little sadness; Joseph's wooden staff, tired on the left, sits on top of their luggage. The halo of the cross on Jesus' head signifies the fate of Christ being crucified. The bull lying behind the broken wall indicates that Christ was born in the cowshed. The background is the common suburban scenery in the Renaissance. The composition of the work is rigorous and orderly, the figure sketch is solid, and the deconstruction is accurate. According to the Bible, Jesus was born at night, but the picture is just like day. The perspective of Jesus in the center of the picture is scattered, symbolizing that Jesus is the eternal light and hope of the world.
