The Christmas Phone Wallpapers
One tap and it is yours, no email needed. Each file is 1440 × 3200 pixels, sized for every recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Pixel and other Android phone, with the faces kept clear of the clock.
The Holy Night
There is no lamp in the stable. The light comes from the Child alone, so bright that a shepherd girl raises her hand to shield her eyes, while angels tumble out of the dark above.
The Mystic Nativity
Twelve angels dance in a ring of gold above the stable, holding olive branches and crowns. Below, angels embrace men on earth: Christmas as the end of the quarrel between heaven and the world.
The Nativity at Night
A small Dutch panel, almost entirely dark. The Child shines in the manger and lights the faces of Mary and the little angels; far off on the hill, the shepherds’ fire and the angel bringing the news.
The Adoration of the Magi
The richest Epiphany of the early Renaissance, raised in real gold. The kings’ long journey winds through the hills at the top and ends below, where the Child lays his hand on the oldest king’s head.

The Adoration of the Magi
A round painting crowded with a whole city come to see the Child, begun by Fra Angelico and finished by Filippo Lippi. On the stable roof sits a peacock, the old Christian sign of eternal life.
The Adoration of the Shepherds
A Dutch follower of Caravaggio, Stom lights the whole scene from the manger: old hands raised in wonder, a young shepherd in a red cap, and Mary lifting the cloth so that they can see.
The Adoration of the Shepherds
Also called the Allendale Nativity. Two shepherds have come down from the hills, the Holy Family waits at the mouth of a cave, and on the left a whole Venetian countryside opens to the light.
The Adoration in the Forest
Painted for the Medici family chapel in Florence. Mary kneels before her Son in a dark wood, with God the Father and the Dove above him: the whole Trinity in one quiet clearing.
