EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning panel from the Miraflores Altarpiece, painted by the Early Netherlandish master Rogier van der Weyden around the 15th century, showcases the Nativity scene. The triptych, now housed in the Royal Chapel of Granada, Andalusia, Spain, is a prime example of Gothic art from the Middle Ages. In this exquisite panel, the Virgin Mary cradles the newborn Jesus, who lies on a bed of straw, symbolizing the humility of the Holy Family. St. Joseph, with a gentle expression, looks on from the side. The peaceful scene is filled with warmth and tenderness, as the animals in the pasture outside the stable gaze in adoration. Rogier van der Weyden, born around 1399/1400 in the Netherlands, was a prominent figure in Early Netherlandish art. His mastery of oil painting techniques is evident in the intricate details and lifelike quality of the figures and the textures of the fabric and straw. The Miraflores Altarpiece, with its intricate composition and rich symbolism, is a testament to the artistic achievements of the Middle Ages. The panel's serene and evocative depiction of the Nativity continues to captivate viewers and inspire awe, making it an invaluable addition to the art historical record.
