This beautiful and exciting 17th century canvas is the work of a Bolognese author from the Guercino circle, directly influenced by his creative genius.
The scene is truly moving and takes up the famous painting exhibited at the National Gallery in London from a different perspective.
The strong chiaroscuro and perfect shades denote excellent pictorial skills and the plastic result is very successful.
The choice of depicting the three protagonists in a nocturnal context makes their images much more suggestive and their bodies radiate a supernatural light with a truly remarkable effect.
