The Adoration of the Shepherds
by JANNECK, Franz Christoph, Oil on copper, 36 x 46 cm
This painting is an example of Janneck’s abilities as a painter of cabinet pictures. The copper support favoured by the artist not only intensifies the richness and luminosity of the palette but also allows for a meticulous rendering of drapery folds, reflective surfaces and finely delineated facial features.
