The painting depicts a religious scene obviously inspired by Christian iconography, specifically the birth of Jesus Christ. In the centre is Mary kneeling with her arms outstretched, next to her is Joseph in a red garment, pointing to the newborn in a manger. On either side of the work are figures representing shepherds and the Three Kings, and angels above. The rich colour palette and detailed execution characterise this painting as a typical Renaissance work.

Hugo van der Goes (1440-1482) together with Jan Van Eyck, one of the most important Dutch masters. The first mention of his life comes when he entered into the painter’s guild of Ghent in 1467. He worked on the private decorations for the wealthy inhabitants of Ghent. He entered the monastery at Qudergem near Brussels. He painted altar triptychs and richly coloured religious images, such as Fall of Man, in which he captures the fateful moment of the expulsion from Paradise. In Adoration of the Kings, he again emphasizes detail.
