Divine Love: The Art of the Nativity explores the ways in which the birth of Christ, at the heart of the Christian mystery, has been depicted from the earliest times. The book is thematic rather than chronological. Here Sarah Drummond explores the legends and traditions that have played into the way artists have visualised the Nativity. She discovers how, and why, the images and the elements that are shown evolved have. We learn about the essential ingredients concerning the Nativity and about the layers of meaning that the images reveal; and how have artists found ways to express both the human and the Divine natures of the Christ Child?
Sarah Drummond studied art history in Paris and later did postgraduate studies at the Courtauld, SOAS and Birkbeck. Her professional background was in journalism, mainly as a freelance features writer. She has travelled extensively. Her interest in the subject of the Nativity goes back many decades, and during the gestation of this work she has visited museums, galleries and churches all over Europe and North America. She has observed the vast majority of the works illustrated in the book, many of which can be studied in their original settings.
