"Portinari Altarpiece" by Hugo Van Der Goes

Hugo Van Der Goes
Portinari Altarpiece (open)
Florence, Italy
Tempera Oil on wood
1476- Northern Renaissance

"Adoration of the shepherds" is the theme of the central panel presenting solemn grandeur. The Flemish were most impressed with Hugo's use of realism in the draperies, animals and human character.
