(b, 1 445  Firenze  d, 1 510  Firenze)

The Mystical Nativity c, 1 500 Tempera on canvas  108 5 x 75 cm National Gallery  London

There is no documentary evidence to prove whether or not Botticelli was one of Savonarola's follower, But certain themes in his later works - like the Mystic Nativity - are certainly derived from the sermons of Savonarola  which means that the artist was definitely attracted by that personality so central to the cultural and political events of Florence during the last years of the fifteenth century,

It has been suggested that this picture  the only surviving work signed by Botticelli  was painted for his own private devotions  or for someone close to him, It is certainly unconventional  and does not simply represent the traditional events of the birth of Jesus and the adoration of the shepherds and the Magi or Wise Men, Rather it is a vision of these events inspired by the prophecies in the Revelation of Saint John, Botticelli has underlined the non-realism of the picture by including Latin and Greek texts  and by adopting the conventions of medieval art  such as discrepancies in scale  for symbolic ends, The Virgin Mary  adoring a gigantic infant Jesus  is so large that were she to stand she could not fit under the thatch roof of the stable, They are  of course  the holiest and the most important persons in the painting,

The angels carry olive branches  which two of them have presented to the men they embrace in the foreground, These men  as well as the presumed shepherds in their short hooded garments on the right and the long-gowned Magi on the left  are all crowned with olive  an emblem of peace, The scrolls wound about the branches in the foreground  combined with some of those held by the angels dancing in the sky  read: 'Glory to God in the highest  and on earth peace  goodwill toward men' (Luke 2:14), As angels and men move ever closer  from right to left  to embrace  little devils scatter into holes in the ground, The scrolls held by the angels
