This painting also known as the Berlin Tondo is a desco da parto or birthing-tray painted by the Italian Renaissance artist Masaccio c. 1427–1428 though the work is regarded as from his workshop or by a follower by many recent scholars.While the birth of Jesus and that of his mother were very common scenes in religious art and often used contemporary settings and costumes actual depictions of a contemporary childbirth were very rare.
