Aanbidding der herders

Pieter Aertsen is considered the most important Amsterdam artist in the third quarter of the sixteenth century. He was long resident in Antwerp but returned to Amsterdam around 1557. This Adoration of the Shepherds may be from the Old Church, although this is not certain. What we do know is that he received the commission when still living in Antwerp.
