Description
Adoration of the Shepherds by Gerard van Honthorst 1662
Adoration of the shepherds, as a theme in Christian art, is a depiction of shepherds paying homage to the newborn Christ, an event described in The Gospel According to Luke.
The Adoration of the Shepherds is a popular scene in art depicting the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. It shows shepherds who were witnesses to the birth arriving at the scene soon after. Often, the Adoration of the Shepherds is combined with the Adoration of the Magi, which is typically referred to by the latter title. It is important to note that the Annunciation to the Shepherds, which involves an angel summoning them to the scene, is a distinct subject.
