Description

Here, two adoration scenes are combined unusually, one above the other. The work is attributed to Paolo Uccello, one of the great masters of the early Italian Renaissance. Typical for this period is the tentative approach to reality utilising various pictorial means. For example, the clear structure of the seascape, which gradually stretches towards the horizon, the almost mathematical stylisation of the palm tree, or the attempt to create corporeality in the doll-like figures, for example, through drapery.
