## About this work

Maestro delle Storie del Pane painted this in 1494(?), aged 24. It is now at The Met in New York.

### How it was made

- **Tempera.** Pigment bound with egg yolk. It dries in minutes and can’t be blended wet, so painters built up form with fine, hatched strokes. It was Europe’s main panel technique before oil.
