Mystic Nativity (Natività Mistica)

Note: A Greek inscription appears at top: “This picture, at the end of the year 1500, in the troubles of Italy, I Alessandro, in the half–time after the time, painted, according to the eleventh [chapter] of Saint John, in the second woe of the Apocalypse, during the release of the devil for three–and–a–half years; then he shall be bound in the twelfth [chapter] and we shall see [him buried] as in this picture.”
