Nativity by Lorenzo Lotto

Renaissance painting depicting Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus. In this oil painting by Lorenzo Lotto (c.1480-1556), we see three angels overhead consulting a list of some sort and a crucifix over to the left. Not your typical Christmas image but one clearly depicting the Nativity.

You might recognize this painting, it was used in 1970 by the US Postal Service as one of their annual Christmas stamps.
