The story of The Nativity
Bernardino Fungai was a Sienese painter of the late 15th and early 16th centuries who worked in the lingering Gothic-and-early-Renaissance idiom that gave Sienese altarpieces their distinctive gilt-and-jewel quality. His Nativity — the Virgin kneeling before the Christ Child in a gold-grounded barn, angels swirling overhead, donors and saints attending in tiered groups — is a luminous example of provincial Italian devotional painting at the turn of the Cinquecento.
Bernardino Fungai
Bernardino Fungai was an Italian painter whose work marks the transition from late Gothic painting to the early Renaissance in the Sienese school. He maintained a fairly archaic style in his works, which are mainly of a devotional nature.
