"The Adoration of the Shepherds (detail 1) 1476-79" is a notable segment of a larger altarpiece created by the renowned Early Netherlandish painter Hugo van der Goes. This particular detail is part of the celebrated Portinari Altarpiece, commissioned by Tommaso Portinari, an Italian banker working for the Medici family in Bruges. The altarpiece was intended for the church of the hospital of Santa Maria Nuova in Florence, where it was installed in 1483.

Hugo van der Goes, active during the latter half of the 15th century, is recognized for his masterful use of color, intricate detail, and emotional depth. The Portinari Altarpiece, completed between 1476 and 1479, is considered one of his masterpieces and a significant work in the Northern Renaissance. The altarpiece is a triptych, with the central panel depicting the Nativity scene, flanked by two wings showing the donors and their patron saints.

In "The Adoration of the Shepherds (detail 1)," van der Goes captures a moment of profound reverence and divine illumination. The shepherds, depicted with a striking realism, are shown in various states of awe and humility as they gaze upon the newborn Christ. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the textures of the shepherds' garments, the naturalistic rendering of their expressions, and the delicate play of light and shadow.

Van der Goes' use of oil paint allows for a rich, luminous quality that enhances the spiritual atmosphere of the scene. The composition is carefully balanced, guiding the viewer's eye towards the central figure of the infant Jesus, who is bathed in a soft, ethereal light. This detail exemplifies van der Goes' ability to convey complex human emotions and divine presence through his art.

The Portinari Altarpiece had a significant influence on Italian Renaissance artists, introducing them to the Northern European style of detailed naturalism and emotional intensity. "The Adoration of the Shepherds (detail 1)" remains a testament to Hugo van der Goes' artistic genius and his contribution to the development of Renaissance art.
