Santa Kneeling at the Manger Wall Art, Framed

Most Christmas decor is about the tree, the lights and the presents. This kneeling Santa scene is for a home that keeps the reason for the season in view: Santa, the giver of gifts, bowing before the greatest gift. Hang it above the mantel, by the front door or near the tree, where everyone who comes home for the holidays will see it. It belongs with the rest of our Christmas wall art and our Christian wall art.

TWO WAYS TO ORDER

Framed and ready to hang, or as an unframed print for a frame you already love. Choose the unframed print in the options and it arrives on its own, made to order on the same paper as our framed pieces, without a frame, plexiglass or hanging hardware. Everything on this page about the frame and hanging describes the framed version.

• Framed and ready to hang -- a solid pine frame, shatterproof plexiglass and hanging hardware already fitted
• Four frame colors -- Dark Wood, Natural Wood, Black or White
• Premium matte paper -- 200gsm, printed with fade-resistant archival-quality inks for warm tones with zero glare
• Eleven sizes -- from 5x7" to 28x40", including A3, A2 and A1
• Free shipping available -- with tracking on every order
• 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee and Lifetime Quality Guarantee -- if your piece ever fails on us, we replace it free
• Certificate of Authenticity included -- a digital certificate with every order; framed prints also include a physical 4x6" insert

• The bowed head -- Santa's eyes are lowered and his hands are folded, so the scene reads as prayer from across the room
• Three sources of light -- a hanging lantern, a candle in the straw and one bright star in the barn window
• The sleeping baby -- swaddled in white cloth on a bed of golden straw in a rough wooden manger
• Deep Christmas colors -- Santa's red suit and white fur against warm gold and old barn-wood brown
• A painterly finish -- the look of loose oil brushwork, printed flat on smooth matte paper
• No words on the art -- the scene tells the story on its own

The lamps are low and the tree is lit. Above the mantel, the lantern in the picture seems to glow along with the room, and the candle on the barn floor picks up the light from your own candles. The house is loud with family, and this one corner of the wall stays quiet: Santa on his knees, the baby asleep, the star outside. You walk past it on Christmas morning and remember what the day is for.

Most wall art ships from a single warehouse thousands of miles away. Not ours. Every Sparkycare order is produced at one of 140+ premium production facilities across 32 countries, whichever is closest to your delivery address. We don't keep warehouses of unsold prints: every piece is made because someone chose it. Your framed piece is crafted in FSC-certified solid pine wood, with shatterproof plexiglass on the front and ready-to-hang hardware on the back.

Made to order in one to four days, then shipped with tracking. Produced in your region whenever possible, so most orders never cross a border and arrive with no customs fees. Free shipping available.

Premium Frame Options

Dark Wood -- deep and rich -- OUR TOP PICK FOR THIS DESIGN. The brown carries the old barn wood of the scene out to the edge, so the lantern glow and Santa's red suit stand out.
Natural Wood -- a warm, light pine that echoes the golden straw
Black -- a crisp edge that makes the reds and golds look richer
White -- clean and bright, for a lighter wall

Every piece includes shatterproof plexiglass and ready-to-hang hardware. The frame is solid pine.

Materials

200gsm premium matte paper, solid FSC-certified pine frame (Dark Wood recommended), shatterproof plexiglass, hanging hardware.

Printing

Archival-quality inks, printed to order. The matte finish keeps the deep reds and golds soft and glare-free under lamp light.

Is this an original oil painting?

No. It is a new artwork made in a warm, vintage-style painterly look, printed to order on premium matte paper and framed. You see the look of loose oil brushwork in the red suit, the straw and the old barn wood, but the surface is smooth paper behind shatterproof plexiglass.

Does it arrive ready to hang?

Yes. The framed version arrives in a solid pine frame behind shatterproof plexiglass, with hanging hardware already fitted, so you can unwrap it and hang it the same day. The unframed print arrives on its own, ready for a frame you already own.

Will it arrive in time for Christmas?

Each piece is made to order in one to four days and then shipped from a production facility near you, with tracking on every order. Order by December 14 for Christmas delivery in the US.

What does the kneeling Santa scene show?

Santa kneels in the straw with his hands folded and his head bowed, beside a wooden manger where the baby Jesus sleeps in white cloth. A lantern hangs above, a single candle burns on the floor, and a barn window shows one bright star over dark hills. There is no text on the art.

Which frame color suits it best?

Dark Wood is our pick: the deep brown carries the old barn wood of the scene out to the edge, so the lantern glow and Santa's red suit stand out. Natural Wood echoes the golden straw, Black makes the reds and golds look richer, and White suits a lighter wall.

What size should I choose?

Above a mantel or fireplace, 18x24" or 24x36" reads well from across the room. Above a console table or sideboard, 16x20" or 18x24". In an entryway or hallway, 11x14" or 16x20". As a gift when you are not sure of their space, 16x20" fits almost anywhere.

Is it a good Christmas gift for a parent or grandparent?

Yes. For a mom, dad, grandma or grandpa who has always said Christmas is about more than presents, it says that in one picture, and it comes out with the decorations every year. Choose 16x20" if you are not sure of their wall.

Will the colors fade?

The print uses fade-resistant archival-quality inks on 200gsm premium matte paper. Hung out of direct sunlight, the deep reds, golds and browns stay true for many Christmases.

Every Sparkycare design comes with our 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee and our Lifetime Quality Guarantee: if your piece ever fails on us, message us with a photo and we will replace it free, for as long as you own it. You just cover shipping.

Made near you, for the Christmas that matters most to your family.

For the moments worth framing.

A few details worth knowing. Every piece is made to order just for you, so slight size variations can happen from one print to the next, part of what makes each one its own. Colors may look a little different on your screen than they do in print, since every monitor shows color its own way. Every design is shaped by us, the Sparkycare design team, using our own creativity and taste, then carefully curated before it becomes a finished piece. To keep yours looking its best, hang it out of direct sunlight and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth when needed.
