This triptych shows a big feast with kids in fancy clothes. A man in green watches from a doorway. A dog naps under the table. The work glows with Northern Renaissance colors. Tiny details hide in the folds of clothes. Look close. You’ll spot a parrot on a perch. The artist often teamed with tapestry weavers. Notice how the light hits the silver cups. Compare this to Hans Memling’s calm, crowded scenes. Look up Bernard Van Orley next.
