About this work

The painting shows a scene with people and a landscape. It's interesting because the artist used tempera on canvas, which is a technique that involves using egg yolks to bind pigments. This method was often used in the past to create bright and durable colors. The artist's use of color and composition is similar to what you'd see if you looked up the technique: tempera.
