From religious masterpieces to enchanting portraits, this technique has stood the test of time, leaving us in awe of its beauty and intricacy. One such masterpiece is "The Transfiguration of Jesus, " an anonymous work from the mid-16th century. The vibrant colors and meticulous details bring this biblical scene to life, showcasing the skillful use of tempera on panel. In Verrocchio's "Tobias and the Angel, " created around 1470-1475, we witness another example of this technique's versatility.

" These sacred artworks demonstrate how tempera on panel was employed as a means for spiritual contemplation, evoking reverence through their intricate detailing and symbolic imagery. Meanwhile, Vergos Family's portrayal of Princess Eudoxia before Saint Stephen's tomb offers a glimpse into Byzantine influence at the end of the 15th century.
