Master of Sigena

This anonymous Spanish painter worked in the early 1500s, leaving behind only two surviving panels. One shows a detailed Nativity scene with rich colors and careful folds in Mary’s dress, while the other captures a young Jesus calmly debating with older scholars. Both works feel warm and alive, with faces that look real rather than stiff. Their style sits somewhere between late medieval tradition and the emerging Renaissance. Tap *The Nativity* to see how they balanced old and new in one glowing scene.
