The technique
The Linea Aurea collection by Bottega Tifernate stands out for its high quality artistic works created through the patented pictography technique, created by the master Stefano Lazzari. This method allows you to create reproductions that maintain all the aesthetic qualities of an authentic painting. Years of dedicated research and study in the field of painting and restoration have enabled the Città di Castello workshop to faithfully restore the methods and recipes that the Renaissance masters applied in their creations on fresco, panel and canvas. For the frescoes, the same type of lime used by Giotto is used, a pure lime, free of salts and alkalis that could damage the work over time. The technique used is ''a fresco'' with gold leaf retouch, which allows the colors to blend perfectly with the lime pigment during drying, thus ensuring long-lasting and harmonious integration. The pigments used are oxide-based, which guarantees that the intensity of the color remains unchanged over time.

The painting
The scene is set under the moonlight, with the Virgin Mary delicately laying the swaddled Child. Saint Joseph observes the newborn by leaning over Mary's shoulder, while two angels lean out in reverence towards the cradle. The moonlight illuminates the faces of the different characters, but it is the Baby Jesus who emerges as the true source of light in the scene.Each item comes with a certificate of provenance inside the packaging, adding value to your purchase.
