I had the chance to visit BYU's Carl Bloch Exhibit last week. It was stunning and wonderful to see the paintings I'm so familiar with. Here is one of my favorite of his images:
I love Christmas, and I love the way light works in this picture. The darkness outside that permeates everything speaks to me and how the world would be without Christ. Most of all, I love the way the light radiates from the infant Christ. I love that while Mary is distinctly in the light, it is certainly Christ that is the source. I love the way the humble shepherds ignore all except for the face of the newborn Lord.
