About the piece
Created in 1885, this oil painting by Henri Loubat depicts the biblical moment of the Annunciation to the Shepherds. The composition uses a striking chiaroscuro effect, with the radiant, pink-clad angel contrasting sharply against the deep, earthy tones of the nighttime hillside and the awestruck figures below.
