The Offering of the Jews

The Master of the Gathering of the Manna's Offering of the Jews, painted around 1460 and now in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, depicts an Old Testament scene by an anonymous Netherlandish painter named after his most characteristic works. This anonymous master was part of the rich tradition of mid-fifteenth-century Netherlandish painting that produced religious narratives of high quality for churches and private devotional use.

The painting demonstrates the refined technique of the mid-fifteenth-century Netherlandish school, with careful attention to liturgical details, architectural settings, and the luminous quality of oil glazes.
