The shepherds come running to see the miracle. But it is not only revealed to them, but also to the onlookers. For on either side of the painting, prophets push aside a green curtain. How can the context of this painting from Hugo's last creative period be explained?

Speakers:
Dr. Katrin Dyballa, Bucerius Kunstforum, Hamburg and retired pastor
Christhard-Georg Neubert, Director of the Christian Art Foundation Wittenberg

The interdisciplinary event series “Christliche Bildbetrachtung” usually takes place once a month - except for the summer break - and is a cooperation between the St. Matthew's Foundation and the Gemäldegalerie der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin. According to the calendar of the church year, selected paintings are discussed by an art historian and a theologian and put up for discussion.
