If you are working on that history section, then I'll grub around for moore pics on commons. I know some of the things that I want but havven't located themm yet. I love Altdorffer's pictures. In The one that I chose the Baby looks so delighted with the big pile of coins, the old king is so delighted with the baby, the middle King is grinning all over his ugly face with tears in his eyes, and no regard for the magnificent present he has brought, and the young King loooks so extremely humble and adoring. They most a really remarkable contrast to the arrogance of Durer's Kings (one of which is Durer himself) who are comparing gifts. Amandajm (talk) 22:15, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Is Bill Egan in there as a representative of Contemporary Art, or of Postmodernism? He's interesting, though - he's actually folk-art, the equivalent of some peasant-artist of the middle ages, not too skilled and not too talented, but pious and compertent and in touch with what ordinary believers want.

Amanda, I'm afraid in your absence I've crashed on in my usual way; hope it's ok (more or less). Joint nom for DYK done. God, I'm fed up with washed out commons images, and insane commons category tangles! Also it really brings home how few straight nativities there are after 1500. But I was delighted to find the 2 sarcophagi with nice sharp pics. You'll see i've mixed the galleries into the text as far as possible, whilst mostly keeping the chronological sequence. I'm not sure about the High Renaissance gallery - is the Doni Tondo really a rest on the flight? And the Leonardo is a bit of a one for conossewers like wot you, I & pi co are, don't you think?

I am wondering about the overlap or indeed missed area between this article and Nativity of Jesus in later culture. This article doesn't specify a stopping point (nor should it, in my view); that one says it deals with depictions "outside the fields of the figurative arts" (although its title doesn't make this clear). So what of visual art of relatively recent times? This article has an "after 1800" section, which ends before WW1, i.e. the long 19th century, and the only section after that is folk art, as if no "high art" of the Nativity was painted or sculpted in the last hundred years. ( Tate Britain and Tate Modern similarly fall between two stools.) I notice that there is an image of a stained glass window, labelled "modern", that has been pushed down to the notes, for lack of anywhere better to go. I suggest a 20th century section in this article, and leave all other non-figurative representations to the other. BrainyBabe ( talk) 18:11, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
The Nativity by Sawai Chinnawong. Nalini Jayasuriya, The Three Magi (2002). Examples in The Christian Story: Five Asian Artists Today, the 2007 exhibition at the Museum of Biblical Art. BrainyBabe ( talk) 17:11, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
The section headed "Early Christianity" begins "The earliest pictorial representations of Jesus' Nativity come from sarcophagi in Rome and Southern Gaul of around this date." It's the first sentence of the section, and the last sentence of the previous section is about the Renaissance. So what date is "this date"? -- Andreas Philopater ( talk) 18:22, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

I added 2 of the most famous Bible illustrations depicting the Nativity. One is from Gustave Dore, the other is from Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld. Both Bible editions have been some of the most important published and are reproduced countless times. -- GoogleMeNowPlease ( talk) 04:59, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
