This week : Jean Hey

Jean Hey, Nativity with the cardinal Rolin, 1480, Oil on panel, 55×71 cm, Autun, musée Rolin

I like this work for its bright colors

I like this work for its realistic details (faces, hands, architecture, landscape…).

On the other hand, I like the Virgin’s face like ivory

I like the adorable little dog at the foot of the cardinal

And you, what do you think about it ?

    Look at the heraldic arms. They are so complex.

      Indeed, it is a combination of his parent’s coats of arms, accompanied by h’s cardinal’s insignia
