EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the central panel of the Portinari Altarpiece, a masterpiece created by Hugo van der Goes in 1479. Titled "Christ Child Adored by Angels" this oil on panel artwork measures an impressive 253x304 cm and is currently housed in the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy. The image depicts a scene of profound adoration and celestial beauty. The Christ child sits at the center, surrounded by a chorus of angels who gaze upon him with awe and reverence. Their delicate wings spread wide as they kneel before their divine savior. Intricately detailed, this triptych also features several other elements that enrich its narrative. To one side stands Mary, the Virgin Mother, her face filled with tenderness as she watches over her son. On the opposite side are shepherds - humble witnesses to this miraculous event - who have come to pay homage to Jesus. The Portinari Altarpiece was commissioned by Tommaso Portinari for his family chapel in Florence's Church of Sant'Egidio. It serves as a testament to both Van der Goes' artistic skill and his ability to capture spiritual devotion through paintbrush strokes. This remarkable photograph allows viewers to appreciate every brushstroke and color choice made by Van der Goes centuries ago. It invites us into a world where heavenly beings gather around an infant king, reminding us of the enduring power and significance of faith throughout history.
