Portinari Altarpiece, Central Panel |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| Flemish painter Hugo Van der Goes’s mastery of oil painting technique influenced many Italian painters when his Portinari Altarpiece was placed in a Florentine church. The center panel, featuring The Adoration of the Shepherds, shows his powerful, somber realism, which can particularly be seen in the awestruck shepherds, right. The altarpiece, painted in about 1476, is now in the collection of the Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Italy. | ||||||
