"The Adoration of the Shepherds (detail 10)" is a segment of a larger altarpiece created by the renowned Early Netherlandish painter Hugo van der Goes between 1476 and 1479. Van der Goes is celebrated for his masterful use of color, intricate detail, and emotional depth, which are all evident in this particular work. The painting is part of the Portinari Altarpiece, a triptych commissioned by Tommaso Portinari, an Italian banker working in Bruges, for the church of San Egidio in the hospital of Santa Maria Nuova in Florence.

The Portinari Altarpiece is one of the most significant works of the Northern Renaissance, and "The Adoration of the Shepherds" is a central panel that vividly captures the nativity scene. In this detail, van der Goes focuses on the shepherds' adoration of the newborn Christ, highlighting their humble and devout nature. The shepherds are depicted with a remarkable realism, their weathered faces and worn clothing contrasting with the divine purity of the infant Jesus. This juxtaposition underscores the theme of divine grace accessible to all, regardless of social status.

Van der Goes' meticulous attention to detail is evident in the textures of the fabrics, the play of light and shadow, and the expressive faces of the figures. The use of oil paint allows for a richness and depth of color that enhances the emotional impact of the scene. The artist's innovative approach to composition and perspective draws the viewer into the narrative, creating a sense of immediacy and intimacy.

The Portinari Altarpiece had a profound influence on Italian Renaissance art, introducing Northern techniques and styles to artists such as Domenico Ghirlandaio and Leonardo da Vinci. "The Adoration of the Shepherds (detail 10)" exemplifies Hugo van der Goes' ability to blend naturalism with spiritual symbolism, making it a masterpiece of religious art that continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
