Nativity with St. Francis and St. Lawrence

 This painting has been handled in a much precise way and the finishing is more polished compared to most other paintings of Caravaggio. It had been stolen in 1969 and has not yet been recovered.

There is a traditional touch to this nativity scene showing baby Christ lying on the ground with Madonna seated low nearby. The characters surrounding the Madonna maintain a conventional posture and an elegant appearance.

This Italian Baroque oil on canvas painting is 268 cm × 197 cm (106 in × 78 in) and is a stolen artwork
