"The New Born Child," also known as "The Newborn" or "The Nativity," is a celebrated oil painting by French Baroque artist Georges de La Tour, created in the late 1640s. This work is renowned for its tender representation of a domestic scene, which is believed to depict the birth of Christ, although it lacks the traditional religious iconography typically associated with nativity scenes. The painting is part of de La Tour's exploration of nocturnal light, showcasing his mastery of chiaroscuro and tenebrism, techniques that manipulate contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and depth.

Measuring 76 cm by 91 cm, the painting is housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes in France. "The New Born Child" is exemplary of de La Tour's mature period, where he frequently depicted silent, contemplative figures illuminated by a single, soft light source. In this intimate composition, the light emanates from a candle held by a figure, likely Saint Joseph, whose face is obscured by his hand, creating a striking effect of light and shadow. The gentle illumination reveals the tender expressions of the figures surrounding the newborn, believed to be the Virgin Mary and attending midwives or angels.

Georges de La Tour's work fell into obscurity after his death in 1652, but he was rediscovered in the 20th century and is now regarded as one of the most important French painters of the 17th century. "The New Born Child" is particularly admired for its emotional resonance, simplicity of form, and the quiet, almost mystical atmosphere it evokes. The painting's subtle treatment of light not only reflects de La Tour's interest in the works of Caravaggio but also contributes to the viewer's sense of witnessing a private, sacred moment.
