This print showcases the exquisite masterpiece "Adoration of the Shepherd" by Hugo van der Goes. Created between 1476 and 1479, this artwork is the central panel of the Portinari Altarpiece, currently housed in the esteemed Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy. The scene depicted transports us back to a serene nativity setting, where we witness an array of religious figures and elements. The adoring shepherds gather around a humble manger, paying homage to the infant Jesus Christ. Their expressions reflect awe and reverence as they worship alongside Saint Joseph and Mary, who cradles her divine child with tenderness. Intricate details abound within this medieval-inspired composition.
