Description: | A peasant woman offers an egg from her basket to the Christ child who is lying on straw. This painting was probably part of an altarpiece, which was possibly produced in Spain during the second half of the seventeenth century. The unknown painter may be associated with the school of Seville. The contrasted lighting, the precise drawing and the sense of volume in the figures recall earlier Sevillian models, while the depiction of the heavens, with small angels carrying scrolls, has the dynamism of the late Baroque. | Subjects: | religion (Nativity Adoration of the Shepherds) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Spanish School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8931... | Go to resource |
