About the piece
Painted in 1633 by Nicolas Poussin, this work demonstrates the artist's foundational role in French Classical painting. The composition centers on the Virgin Mary and the infant Christ, surrounded by shepherds in various states of adoration, all set against a backdrop that contrasts humble pastoral life with the grandeur of ancient stone ruins.
