...towering, 11½-ft. altarpiece, The Adoration of the Shepherds, painted to decorate his own tomb in the church of Santo Domingo el Antiguo. In it, the Christ Child becomes a glowing pearl, illuminating with otherworldly radiance the three adoring shepherds and St. Joseph in his blue tunic and yellow cloak.
