Mystical Nativity (Adoration in the Forest) – Fra Filippo Lippi | Museum-Quality Reproduction

Immerse yourself in the divine stillness of the Mystical Nativity, also known as Adoration in the Forest, a deeply contemplative masterpiece by Fra Filippo Lippi, created circa 1459 for the Medici family. Now housed in the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, this extraordinary work offers a unique vision of the Nativity, blending natural beauty, sacred symbolism, and mystical reverence.

Unlike traditional nativity scenes, the newborn Christ Child lies directly on the forest floor, nestled among wildflowers, symbolizing both his earthly vulnerability and divine purity. The Virgin Mary kneels in deep adoration, while St. John the Baptist and St. Bernard look on in humble veneration. Above, God the Father and the Holy Spirit descend in radiant light, linking heaven and earth in a celestial moment of incarnation.

Lippi’s masterful use of soft modeling, deep forest perspective, and golden light conveys both spiritual mystery and intimate devotion—making this piece a profound visual meditation on the miracle of Christ’s birth.

• Hanging your painting:

  Oil painting reproductions are dispatched both roll in tube and stretched canvas option. With canvas "roll in tube", un-stretched and un-framed, they come with plenty of excess canvas so they can be easily framed or stretched.

  The most common way is to stretch your painting over wooden stretcher bars. The images below illustrate two ways this could be done with blank canvas sides or with painted sides.

  

  You can either get your painting stretched or framed at a local framing store or stretch it yourself easily and cheaply by doing it yourself following our online guide.
