[Closed] Classical nativity scene

So STW folks, anyone up for a challenge. I spotted this post on an ex-classmate’s Facebook page. Any ideas?

I'm going to have to use the collective brain power of my facebook friends because Google has come up a blank... I'm trying to track down a painting. It's a classic painting of the nativity, but when you look closely the windows of the barn are casting a shadow of a cross across the scene. Any ideas of the painter? the title? IF it exists?

I don't know the answer but in the pursuit of it I came across this wonderful page which has filled 10 minutes at work.

Thanks have shared. I’ll let you know how he responds.

Amazing to see how many pink people there are living in the Middle East a couple of thousand years ago Jekyll!
