Adoration of Our Lord from Hluboká

It is on display in the permanent collection of the Aleš South Bohemian Gallery in Hluboká nad Vltavou as a loan from National Heritage Institute in České Budějovice.

At some point in the past it was clearly exposed to severe heat that caused numerous small blisters in the damaged paint right down to the foundation layer.

According to Pešina,[6] the delicate charm of Mary's feminine face, the soft modelling of its shape that almost melts into light, the colour harmony and the radiance of the lazure painting surpasses the quality of the Třeboň Altarpiece.

In the landscape, which still recalls the work of the Master of the Třeboň Altarpiece, there are two pairs of shepherds on the right in different spatial planes that depict events of the past: the Annunciation and journeying to the stable in Bethlehem.

In the top right-hand corner, we see the angel of the Annunciation with a ribbon bearing the inscription 'Ecce ego annun[t]io vobis Gaudium'.

[citation needed] The infant, who is entirely wrapped in swaddling reminiscent of a shroud and is lying in the wooden crib in the shape of a coffin, refers to Jesus's future martyrdom.

The image represents a new iconographical type that developed out of the earlier scene of Nativity of Jesus through the influence of mystical trends in the church at that time (the Vision of St Bridget of Sweden, 1380).
