About the piece
Created circa 1780 by Francesc Pla i Duran, known as 'El Vigatà', this painting presents the Adoration of the Shepherds with theatrical Baroque energy. The composition centers on the serene figure of the Virgin Mary and the infant Christ, surrounded by a gathering of shepherds and a pensive Saint Joseph, while celestial angels proclaim the birth from the heavens above with a 'Gloria' banner.
