Adoration of the shepherds

Mander, Karel Van (1548-1606)

Van Mander has treated the subject in a standard way and the composition appears to be based on a lost work by Frans Floris which is only known from an engraving. The multiple small figures with mannerist poses are typical of Van Mander’s academic art.
