1465 (ca.), Bartolomeo Vivarini, The Madonna of Humility, the Annunciation, the Nativity, and the Pieta -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)
From the museum label: The prolific Vivarini family workshop specialized in large altarpieces for churches throughout the Veneto region. This relatively small triptych was likely intended for private devotion. The kneeling nun, dressed as a member of the Dominican Order, probably represents the patron. Bartolomeo's debt to the Paduan master Andrea Mantegna is especially evident in the rendering of the landscape and the figure of the Virgin in the Nativity scene. Although the frame is not original, it conveys the decorative ornamentation typical of the Vivarini.
