The Adoration of the Christ Child by Cosimo Rosselli (1439-1507). Florence circa 1485-1507, tempera and oil on panel. As a successful independent painter and esteemed teacher, Cosimo Rosselli was an outstanding exponent of the artistic conventions of Florence in the second half of the 15th century. Although this Nativity scene reflects the influence of imported works by south Netherlandish artists, the use of colour and strong sense of line and design (disegno) are typically Florentine.
