"Nativity, at Night" is a notable work by the Early Netherlandish painter Geertgen tot Sint Jans, created between 1484 and 1490. This painting is distinguished by its depiction of the birth of Jesus Christ, set against the backdrop of a nocturnal scene, which was a relatively innovative approach for the time. The artwork is renowned for its use of light to convey the divine nature of the event, with the infant Jesus serving as the central source of illumination in the otherwise dark setting.

The painting is executed in oil on oak panel, a medium that allowed Geertgen to achieve fine details and subtle gradations of light and color. Measuring approximately 34 x 25.3 cm, it is a small but powerful representation of the Nativity. The composition is intimate, focusing on the Holy Family, with the Virgin Mary adoring the Christ Child, who radiates light, while Joseph is typically depicted in a more passive role. Angels hover above, and shepherds, drawn by the miraculous light, are often shown approaching in the background.

Geertgen tot Sint Jans, whose life and work were relatively brief, is considered one of the most important and innovative artists of his time. His ability to convey narrative and emotion through light and composition has earned him a significant place in the history of art. "Nativity, at Night" is one of his most celebrated works and is often cited for its influence on later artists, particularly in its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and the intimate portrayal of a sacred event.

The painting is currently held in the collection of the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. As an exemplar of Northern Renaissance art, "Nativity, at Night" reflects the devotional practices and aesthetic values of late 15th-century Europe, offering insight into the period's religious and cultural contexts.
