This text proposes a reading of Barocci’s Nativity in the Prado Museum as a Eucharistic allegory, due to the presence of ears of wheat, grain, and bread in the composition. The painting is studied in connection with its preparatory drawings (one of which, in the Louvre, has not been considered to date), and analyses Barocci’s working method: he must have modelled a sculpture inspired by the figure of Christ in Correggio’s Agony in the Garden in order to study the position of Mary.
