About the piece
This 18th-century oil painting captures the 'Adoration of the Christ Child,' a central theme in Western sacred art. Painted around 1770 by an unknown Slovak master, the work features luminous figures of Mary and Joseph surrounded by humble shepherds, while a choir of cherubs unfurls a banner proclaiming 'Gloria in Excelsis Deo' against a soft, atmospheric background.
