''No. 17 Scenes from the Life of Christ: 1. Nativity: Birth of Jesus (detail)'' is a fresco by the Italian master Giotto di Bondone, painted between 1304 and 1306. This work is part of a series of 38 frescoes that adorn the walls of the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy, also known as the Arena Chapel. Giotto's frescoes in the chapel are considered one of the masterpieces of Western art and a seminal work of the early Renaissance, marking a departure from the Byzantine style of the medieval period and moving towards greater naturalism.

The ''Nativity: Birth of Jesus'' is a detail from the larger cycle depicting various episodes from the life of Christ. In this scene, Giotto captures the moment of the birth of Jesus with a revolutionary approach to composition, use of space, and depiction of the human figure. The fresco shows the Virgin Mary reclining and gazing upon the newborn Christ, who is being washed by midwives, while Joseph rests in contemplation. The intimate portrayal of the Holy Family and the inclusion of humanizing details reflect Giotto's innovative approach to storytelling through art.

Giotto's frescoes, including the ''Nativity: Birth of Jesus,'' are celebrated for their emotional impact and the artist's ability to convey complex narratives through gesture and expression. The fresco is also noted for its architectural elements and the use of chiaroscuro, which would influence the development of three-dimensional representation in Western painting.

The ''Nativity: Birth of Jesus'' is not only a religious representation but also an important cultural artifact that provides insight into the theological and artistic sensibilities of the early 14th century. As part of the Scrovegni Chapel frescoes, it has been recognized by art historians as a critical work in the evolution of European painting, and it continues to be studied for its stylistic and iconographic innovations.
