''The Nativity'' (c. 1596–1598) is a significant oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Annibale Carracci. Renowned for his pivotal role in the development of the Baroque style, Carracci created this work during a period of artistic transition, which is reflected in the painting's blend of naturalism and idealization. The piece depicts the birth of Jesus Christ, a central theme in Christian art, and is celebrated for its emotional depth and the innovative approach Carracci brought to the traditional subject matter.

Measuring approximately 122.5 x 80 cm, ''The Nativity'' is housed in the Museo del Prado, Madrid, and is considered one of Carracci's masterpieces. The composition presents the Holy Family in a stable with the infant Jesus lying on a manger, as the Virgin Mary adores him alongside Saint Joseph. The scene is often noted for its intimate portrayal of the figures and the use of chiaroscuro—a technique Carracci may have been influenced by from the works of Caravaggio—to highlight the divinity of the newborn Christ.

Carracci's work on ''The Nativity'' is marked by a harmonious balance between the idealized forms reminiscent of Renaissance classicism and the realistic observation characteristic of the emerging Baroque sensibility. This synthesis of styles is a hallmark of Carracci's oeuvre and helped establish a new direction for European painting at the turn of the 17th century.

The painting's provenance includes its acquisition by the Spanish royal collection, from where it eventually made its way to the Prado Museum. ''The Nativity'' by Annibale Carracci remains an important work for scholars studying the evolution of European art and the artist's influential role in shaping the visual language of the Baroque period.
