EDITORS COMMENTS
This 14th-century detail from the Altarpiece of the Virgin, Annunciation, showcases a unique biblical scene - making cheese by the shepherds. Painted with tempera on panel by Master of Tora, this exquisite artwork can be found in the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona, Spain. The painting transports us back to the Middle Ages, where we witness a shepherd and his flock amidst a picturesque landscape. The shepherd is engaged in the process of cheese-making while his sheep graze peacefully nearby. This unexpected depiction adds an intriguing layer to the traditional adoration of the shepherds during nativity scenes. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element comes alive through delicate brushstrokes. The artist's skillful use of color and composition creates a harmonious balance between man and nature. As we delve into this masterpiece, we are reminded not only of its artistic significance but also its historical context. It serves as a window into medieval life and offers insight into agricultural practices during that time. Through this print captured by P. Rotger/Index for Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers can appreciate both the beauty and cultural richness preserved within this 14th-century artwork.
