CHRISTMAS ILLUMINATED - KARL-GEORG PFÄNDTNER KA...

From the outset  Christian theology was occupied with the question about the Son of God born as
a child  and particularly with the birth of Jesus. Not until the late Middle Ages did artistic
depictions begin to suggest the familiar atmosphere with which we associate Christmas
celebrations today. During that time  artists transferred the event of God's incarnation into
the environs of the affiuent European city-states  and they placed their conceptualizations of
nature into surroundings not unlike our own. This exhibition presents the Christmas story as
observed in European book illumination from around the fifteenth sixteenth centuries in German
Flemish  French  and ltalian manuscripts. They belong to the most beautiful and valuable
codices of this epoch held by the Bavarian State Library  and present illustrations of the
Christmas story from the annunciation to the flight to Egypt.
