"The Birth of the Virgin" (1467) is a notable Renaissance painting by the Italian artist Fra Carnevale, also known as Bartolomeo di Giovanni Corradini. This work is part of a series of panels that were originally created for the predella of an altarpiece dedicated to the Virgin Mary for the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception in the church of Santa Maria della Bella in Urbino, Italy. The painting, which measures 39 x 61 cm, is currently housed in the Museo del Prado, Madrid, after being part of various collections over the centuries.

The composition of "The Birth of the Virgin" is rich in architectural and domestic details, reflecting the influence of both Gothic and early Renaissance styles. The scene is set within an interior that showcases Fra Carnevale's knowledge of perspective, a skill that was becoming increasingly important during the period. The painting depicts the moment after the Virgin Mary's birth, with St. Anne reclining on a bed while attendants and angels celebrate the auspicious event. The inclusion of various figures and intricate details exemplifies the artist's ability to create a narrative that is both visually appealing and theologically rich.

Fra Carnevale, who was both a painter and an architect, trained in Florence and was influenced by the works of Filippo Lippi and Fra Angelico. His style is characterized by its elegance, clarity, and the use of vibrant colors. "The Birth of the Virgin" is considered an important work in Fra Carnevale's oeuvre, as it demonstrates his mastery of composition and his ability to infuse traditional religious subjects with a sense of humanism and realism that was emerging during the Renaissance.

The painting's provenance and the history of the altarpiece's dismemberment have been subjects of art historical research, with various panels from the original work now residing in different art institutions around the world. "The Birth of the Virgin" not only serves as a testament to Fra Carnevale's artistic skill but also provides insight into the cultural and religious context of 15th-century Italy.
