The painting of the Virgin Mary and the Christ child, a 17th-century work by Italian artist Carlo Maratta, was digitally altered to fully cover Mary's cleavage and to remove angels who are looking at the baby.
The original version of Carlo Maratta’s painting, titled “The Holy Night” or “The Nativity,” at left. An edited version on the right was used in materials for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints encouraged members to download a painting of Mary and the baby Jesus for Christmas, but it was an edited version — altered to remove a hint of Mary’s cleavage.
In Maratta’s original, Mary shows a hint of cleavage as she gazes adoringly at her newborn. In the Latter-day Saint version, someone has not only given Mary a higher neckline but also moved a shawl a bit higher on her left shoulder, giving her added modesty after more than 3½ centuries.The edited version of Maratta’s painting was created for the 2016 Light the World initiative, which is intended to encourage acts of Yuletide service.
