The "Nativity" (1423) by Gentile da Fabriano is a renowned masterpiece of early Italian Renaissance art, celebrated for its intricate detail, use of color, and incorporation of gold leaf, which exemplifies the International Gothic style. This work is part of a larger altarpiece known as the Quaratesi Polyptych, commissioned by the wealthy Florentine banker Palla Strozzi for the church of San Niccolò Oltrarno in Florence. The polyptych was later disassembled, and its panels are now dispersed across various art galleries and museums.

The "Nativity" panel specifically depicts the birth of Jesus Christ, a common subject in Christian art, capturing the moment of divine incarnation with a blend of solemnity and celebration. Gentile da Fabriano's rendition is notable for its rich iconography and the fusion of traditional Christian symbolism with naturalistic elements, a hallmark of the artist's work.

In the "Nativity," the Virgin Mary is typically shown in adoration of the newborn Christ, with St. Joseph often included in a contemplative or supportive role. The scene is usually set in a humble stable or cave, with angels and shepherds frequently present to witness the miraculous event. Gentile da Fabriano's interpretation likely includes these elements, rendered with his characteristic attention to detail and lavish use of gold, which creates a sense of radiance and divine light around the infant Jesus.

The panel is executed in tempera on wood, a common medium of the time, which allowed for the artist's meticulous application of color and gold. The "Nativity" is admired for its rich palette, the texture of the luxurious fabrics, and the elaborate patterns that adorn the clothing of the figures, reflecting the wealth and sophistication of the patron who commissioned the work.

Gentile da Fabriano's "Nativity" is not only a significant religious artwork but also an important cultural artifact that provides insight into the devotional practices, artistic techniques, and aesthetic preferences of early 15th-century Florence. Its historical and artistic value ensures its place among the celebrated works of the Italian Renaissance, and it continues to be studied and admired for its beauty and craftsmanship.
