Nativity and painters Many painters since the fourth century have depicted the Nativity, or birth, of Jesus, which is celebrated worldwide at Christmas. These artistic depictions are based on narratives in the Bible in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke and are often incredibly detailed and quite large in size. Merry Christmas.
