"The Adoration of the Shepherds (detail 7)" is a segment of a larger altarpiece created by the Early Netherlandish painter Hugo van der Goes between 1476 and 1479. Van der Goes, one of the most significant Flemish painters of the 15th century, is renowned for his detailed and emotive works that often feature religious themes. This particular detail is part of the renowned Portinari Altarpiece, which was 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 a triptych, a three-paneled painting, which was a popular format for altarpieces during the Northern Renaissance. The central panel of the altarpiece depicts the Nativity scene, with the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, and the infant Jesus surrounded by angels and shepherds. The side panels feature various saints and donors, including members of the Portinari family. "The Adoration of the Shepherds (detail 7)" specifically focuses on the shepherds who have come to pay homage to the newborn Christ.

Van der Goes' meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey deep emotion are evident in this segment. The shepherds are depicted with a striking realism, their faces showing a range of emotions from awe to humility. The use of light and shadow, as well as the rich, vibrant colors, enhance the overall impact of the scene, drawing the viewer into the moment of divine revelation.

The Portinari Altarpiece, including "The Adoration of the Shepherds (detail 7)," had a significant influence on Italian Renaissance art. Its arrival in Florence introduced Italian artists to the Northern European style of oil painting, characterized by its detailed textures and subtle gradations of color. This cross-cultural exchange contributed to the development of more naturalistic and expressive techniques in Italian painting.

Today, the Portinari Altarpiece is housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance. "The Adoration of the Shepherds (detail 7)" remains a testament to Hugo van der Goes' mastery and his contribution to the rich tapestry of Renaissance art.
