The Queen of the Night drinks water from the clasped hands of faith, while two shepherds embrace each other, unaware of Jesus’ birth. Angels, portrayed almost translucently on the canvas, spray holy water and bring about the giving of gifts. A precious jewel is depicted in the right corner, while a humble basket of turkeys sits on the cape of the Madonna. Nearby rests a basket with a goldfinch, an ancient symbol, which is a harbinger of good luck for newborn babies.

La Regina della Notte e della Luna2004-200563 1/4 x 79 in.(160,66 x 200,66 cm) huile sur toile

La Reine de la Nuit boit l'eau des mains croisées de la foi, tandis que deux bergers s'embrassent, ignorant la naissance de Jésus. Les anges, représentés presque translucidement sur la toile, pulvérisent de l'eau bénite et provoquent l'offrande de cadeaux. Un joyau précieux est représenté dans le coin droit, tandis qu'un humble panier de dindes repose sur le cap de la Vierge. A proximité se trouve un panier avec un chardonneret, un symbole ancien, qui est le signe avant-coureur de la chance pour les nouveau-nés. L'enfant Jésus, tout comme les mains serrées dans lesquelles la Reine boit, représente la foi - les anges se sont aspergés d'eau bénite et il se fera bientôt connaître au monde :

" Pour moi la foi en la religion devient foi en la peinture et vaincra les géants ". - Max Pellegrini, juillet 2015, en conversation avec le conservateur Chip Tom
