<i>The Nativity</i> Piero Della Francesca 1470-5 The National Gallery<br />
<br />
This nativity scene has to be one of my favourites, the variety of expression in the faces of the angels, the human gesture of Joseph whose leg is slung over his knee and the simplicity of the small baby reaching up to his mother.<br />

Isaac Levitan <i>March</i> 1985 State Tretiakov Gallery<br />
<br />
One of my favourite things about doing this blog is discovering new artists that I had not come across before and Isaac Levitan is a great example of this.<br />
<br />
His 'mood landscapes' infuse the Russian landscape with a deep sense of emotion, I find his paintings really act on me casting a spell of tranquility. Something that I felt we could all do with in the final couple of shopping days before Christmas so here a couple more.<br />

This exquisite cope owned by St Paul's Cathedral depicts 73 of the city of London's churches 3 royal peculiars (churches that sit outside of the jurisdiction of it's diocese and instead is under the rule of the monarchy) and of course St Paul's Cathedral itself.<br />

<i>Christmas Preparations at Beaulieu</i> Charles Ernest Cundall Southampton City Art Gallery<br />
<br />
This work is just bursting with life and activity and there are so many charming details. The chaotic cascade of white feathers falling in the middle of the painting contrasts so well with the focused calm of the two figures hunched over their tasks. I particularly like the small dog who is attentively watching the live chickens and geese inside the open crate to the right.<br />

London may be fairly mild today but if you feel like getting into the wintery spirit then you could pop in to the National Gallery to see this snowy work by Pissarro in room 44.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12123107059051723799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2497633125178563444.post-87079430823742904552015-12-09T01:53:00.000-08:002015-12-09T01:53:13.987-08:00Advent Calender: Day 9<a href="http://articulatelondon.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e171/beckybicks/c9da5205-212c-4fe2-99c0-457934eeae09.png" onmouseout="this.src='http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e171/beckybicks/c9da5205-212c-4fe2-99c0-457934eeae09.png'" onmouseover="this.src='http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e171/beckybicks/Andy20Warhol20Christmas20Sewing20theme.jpg'" /></a><br />

<br />
St Nicholas surrounded by 14 scenes from his life. Style of Strogonov (Frame 16th - 17th Century insert 19th Century).<br />
<br />
To celebrate St Nicholas' Day which falls today we have this work from the British Museum. Around the image of the saint are arranged some of the scenes from his life. These include moments from his first miracle where he preached for an hour after his birth, (the second in from the top left) to the translation of the saint's relics to Bari in the bottom right.<br />
