Van Gogh and Van der Goes were similar, not just in their mental fragility, but in the intensity of their art.
The reason Van der Goes was treated with such respect by the monks, that royalty visited him in his seclusion, that he is remembered as one of the greatest artists of the 15th century, is because he painted one of the most universal and glorious of nativity scenes.
Van der Goes explicitly alludes to popular religious theatre; the whole composition of the central scene is theatrical.

Hugo's interest in Joseph is part of a general trend that saw the saint's cult on the rise, but Hugo's own particular religious sentiment also helps account for it.
Hugo emphasized this role for his prophets too: their curtain hangs on a real dowel that has been applied to the panel, whoing that they are before rather than in the scene.
Hugo seems to make reference to this ongoing tradition by painting the curtain green: green curtains were pulled before the altar while the priest blessed the sacrament, then opened to reveal the transubstantiated host.

No paintings by Hugo are signed and his only securely documented work is his masterpiece, a large triptych of the Nativity known as the Portinari Altarpiece (Uffizi, Florence, c.1475-76).
This was commissioned by Tommaso Portinari, the representative of the House of Medici in Bruges, for the church of the Hospital of Sta Maria Nuova in Florence, and it exercised a strong influence on Italian painters with its masterful handling of the oil technique.
As remarkable as Hugo's skill in reconciling grandeur of conception with keep observation is his psychological penetration in the depiction of individual figures, notably the awe-struck shepherds.

Van der Goes, however, was not habitually a painter of easel pieces.

In 1477-8 the renowned Flemish painter Hugo van der Goes [1440?-1482] retreated from the world to become a lay brother in the Red Cloister near Brussels, a move that art historians have almost uniformly interpreted as a sign of his melancholy, depressed temperament.
Instead of vanishing into the monastery, however, Van der Goes continued, as a lay brother, to paint extraordinary pictures.
A psychosocial interpretation: The humanist Hieronymus Münzer vistited Ghent in 1495 and admired the large and famous alterpiece with the Lamb of God by the brothers van Eyck.

The Heritage from Hugo van der Goes to the Grimani Breviary and Simon Bening
Previous generations of art historians have since the 1890'ies believed that the miniatures in the Grimani Breviary were direct copies after the originals, and several attemps have been made to explain how the various manuscripts could have been brought together and made available to the painters in the workshop.
The continuous use of the original model-sheets can only be explained by their presence in the possession of Sanders Bening himself, who inherited many of them in 1482 from Hugo van der Goes and later left them to his son Simon at his death in 1519.

 Hugo van der Goes
Hugo van der Goes is an extraordinary painter and produced paintings on a surprisingly large scale, both literally and in the unprecedented monumentality of the figures.
His most famous work, The Portinari Altarpiece, now in the Uffizi, Florence, was to prove very influential in Italy, where it decorated the church of the Hospital of Santa Maria Nuova in Florence.
Van der Goes is said to have died of religious melancholia, and knowing this, we may persuade ourselves that we see a barely controlled passion in his work.

In 1467 he enrolled as master in the Ghent painters’; guild, sponsored by Joos van Wassenhove, master painter in Ghent in 1464 after registering in Antwerp in 1460.
Sanders Bening was married to Kathelijn van der Goes, perhaps Hugo’s sister.
Hugo’s status within the guild is further attested by the fact that he was guarantor for two other painters in 1471 and 1475, that he was one of the dean’s jurors in 1468–9 and that he himself served as dean from towards the end of 1473–4 to at least 18 August 1475.
