About the piece
Painted around 1650 by Neapolitan artist Bernardo Cavallino, this work captures the intimacy and spiritual awe of the Adoration of the Shepherds. The composition is defined by its masterful chiaroscuro, where soft, warm light emanates from the Christ child, illuminating the expressive faces of Mary and the surrounding figures against the shadowy stable interior.
