La bella pala con la Natività, esposta nel salone del primo piano, nella sezione dedicata a Filippo Lippi e l’Officina pratese, fu probabilmente commissionata per la chiesa di San Domenico. L’intervento della bottega del Lippi negli angioletti e nel san Giorgio non toglie efficacia alla bella composizione inserita in un aspro paesaggio roccioso che mostra le alte qualità del maestro nell’animato san Vincenzo, nella delicatissima Madonna (che potrebbe ritrarre Lucrezia Buti) e nel san Giuseppe, dall’originale posa.
