Cina cea de Taină și Nașterea lui Iisus

About this work

This painting shows two scenes stacked vertically. The top half has a group of robed figures sitting around a table, with one figure at the center holding a round object. The background is bright blue with gold stars and distant buildings. The bottom half depicts people gathered around a bed where a woman lies, with a baby in her arms and others standing or kneeling nearby. The figures in both scenes wear simple, colorful clothing with flat, bold outlines. The top scene looks like a Last Supper, while the bottom scene shows a birth. The bright colors and flat style stand out. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create shading with lines.
