On View
Not on viewOn several occasions, beginning with the great altarpiece for San Domenico in Bologna, Cambiaso rendered the Adoration of the Shepherds as a nocturne. With its extreme simplificaiton of composition and articulation of individual figures, this is a late version, of a size suited for private devotion.
