Mady De La Giraudière (1922) - "the Nativity"

A beautiful, exceptional work by Mady de la Giraudière, comprising nine panels.

The panels are oil paintings depicting nativity scenes.
Panel 1: Adam expelled from Paradise. The voice again said to him: "Fly myrrh, frankincense and gold.
These treasures are hidden on earth. Panel 2: Light fires on the hills. Watch the sky until morning. A star in the firmament. Will shine brighter than burning fires. And will walk towards the place. Where the child God will be born. Panel 3: Stop passersby. Entrust them with these gifts. Adam saw three of them. They were kings. Panel 4: In Jerusalem one night. The Star led them. Panel 5: To King Herod announcing. The birth of the Divine Child. Panel 6: They narrowly escaped. His vengeful anger. Panel 7: Then Jesus was born. Surrounded by those who loved him. Mary, Joseph, the animals. With unfailing love. Panel 8: And awaited the gifts. From the three noble passersby. Panel 9: The first of the three. Offered the gold for the King. The second gives it to him. The Myrrh for Man. The last radiant. Burned incense for God. In biblical scenes, her inventive fantasy is manifested with the greatest attention to detail in the ornamental and poetic details. The artist's sensitivity is always one of the major elements that emerges first from the work; dream and reality then mingle in this world of wonder, where we discover the poetry of animals, the grandiose sites of a magical land. The elements of a landscape are from another universe through the eyes of the artist and it is a true fairy tale that MADY tells us in her work. Mady de La Giraudière, born in Toulouse on April 3, 1922, spent her childhood in the freedom of nature in LAVELANET in Ariège. She is appreciated as a visionary of a pure and poetic world and her painting is a visualization that encompasses all aspects of everyday life.
Mady de La GIRAUDIERE is a self-taught artist who works by instinct, letting her heart and great sensitivity speak. She asserts her personality through her art of storytelling.
