“Joyful Christmas” by Viggo Johansen (1891)

From winter landscapes to religious scenes and socially engaged street art, this playlist explores three very different ways of approaching Christmas in the history of art. You’ll discover how Brueghel helped shape our collective vision of winter, how museum masterpieces depict the birth of Christ through rich symbolism, and how Banksy reinterprets the spirit of Christmas to question our relationship to solidarity. A way to experience the holiday season through an artistic lens, between tradition and modernity.
