The Nativity with the Adoration of the Shepherds and Magi
An illuminated Armenian manuscript page from 1615, painted by Mesrop of Khizan and held by the J. Paul Getty Museum, showing the Nativity alongside the Adoration of the Shepherds and Magi in a devotional religious setting. The painting uses flat, saturated colour, dense gold leaf, and stylised figures with haloes, offering a designer a model for bold, decorative, pattern-driven folk-religious imagery.
