FRAGMENT OF THE NATIVITY ALTARPIECE

Face of Saint Joseph

This altarpiece is outstanding, not only for its size, but also the patent naturalism of the scene depicting the Annunciation of the Shepherds. The narrative pictorial passage of the Nativity-Adoration, however, has evidently been subjected to several later interventions, resulting in the scene having less in common with the original.
