Piero della Francesca’s Nativity returns to view after restoration
The National Gallery displayed the panel after a three-year conservation project. Work on the damaged surface recovered details of the shepherds and of the light on the stable wall. The gallery now interprets the sparse shadows as a deliberate feature tied to Saint Bridget’s vision of the Nativity.
