Caravaggio - Nativity Scene Holiday Card

Caravaggio - Nativity Scene Holiday Card

A "Merry Christmas" art card. The back page gives an account of the cover painting: Title / Date: Nativity with St. Francis & St. Lawrence / 1600? 1609? Artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571 - 1610) Caravaggio trained in Milan, worked in Rome, moved to Naples to escape a death sentence (for killing someone in a fight), bounced then to Malta, which he fled after imprisonment for wounding another man (this time a knight) in another fight, ending up for a time in Sicily, before heading back to Naples and then, believing a papal pardon secure, back to Rome. He died on the way to Rome of a fever or something in 1610. Maybe he painted his Nativity in Rome in 1600 or in Sicily in 1609. The painting added two anachronistic saints to the manger scene: St. Francis of Assissi (1182 - 1226; Italian friar; born rich but chose pauperdom; traveled the world spreading the Word; founded the Franciscan order; patron saint of animals) and (hey, why not while you’re at it??) St. Lawrence (born AD 225 in Valencia, then part of Roman Spain; made a deacon of Rome AD 257, martyred 258 for thumbing his nose at Emperor Valerian’s demand of the church’s wealth [he gave it all away]). In 1969 someone stole this priceless masterpiece from the Oratory of St. Lawrence and is currently number 2 on the FBI’s list of most wanted art crimes (after the looted Iraqi treasures). Author: B.

I really love this traditional icon Christmas card! The card really captures how I celebrate Christmas which I can share with friends and family. I especially love the back of the card as it states Merry Christmas in multiple different languages including Greek, Ukrainian / Russian, Arabic, French, English and more. This card is really something I am proud to send out during the holidays. The color of print on the card is brilliant and fantastic. The quality of paper used for the card. It actually feels like a proper Christmas card. If you want to spend money on some nice Orthodox Christmas cards, this is the one you want!

I love this card. The graphics are on the inside and back of this card. It's superb. You won't find anything like this anywhere else. The card stock is thick and impressive and the colors were spot on. The colors were printed exactly as it looks online. The gold color looks like gold.
