About Artwork: (Probably about 1520-30) "The shining Christ Child lies on the ground surrounded by angels, while the Virgin Mary kneels to worship him and Saint Joseph stands holding a candle. Behind Joseph are two women in exotic jewelled turbans – the midwives who attended the birth. Angels hover in the air above. Although this picture is of poor quality, and the style of its underdrawing and painting technique suggests it is from the early sixteenth century, the composition is close enough to the Portinari Triptych of around 1475 (Florence, Uffizzi) to suggest a connection with Hugo van der Goes. It is one of three surviving versions of a lost Nativity by him. The painter must have had access to patterns from van der Goes' workshop and used them to create a pastiche based on the lost painting, which was probably made in the early 1470s and might have been the missing left wing of the Monteforte Altarpiece (Gemäldegalerie, Berlin)." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
