A baby in a manger, a star in the sky, wise men, shepherds… We all think we know the story of the Nativity, but the original biblical tale is surprisingly light on detail. As a result, artists through the centuries have indulged their own flights of imagination to interpret the scene. Some added just a flourish here or there, others layered their paintings with complex visual metaphors and hidden meanings aplenty.
The Mystery of the Nativity is a new film delving into the mystery of one of the most famous stories ever told. The Nativity has been performed in schools all over the country in Christmas and holiday season. But with so many details missing from the story, artists through the ages have been free to imagine extraordinary visions with extraordinary meanings. Join art critic Waldemar Januszczak as he delves into the mysteries of a renowned old tale, as artists throughout the ages developed incredible ideas to fill in the gaps.
