Overview
As Christmas approaches we are bombarded with images of the baby Jesus in the manger, one of the quintessential expressions of the Christmas story. Seeing Salvation Part 2 "The Baby" - shows the developing symbolism of portraying the Christ Child, the Magi, and The Nativity throughout Christian art. Neil MacGregor travels from England to Italy, Germany & Peru to see how various artists over the past 2000 years have used the symbolism of this innocent scene to convey a variety of messages and how in the hands of the rich and powerful it could be manipulated for their own advantage.
