About the piece
Created around 1890 as a study for the 'Gospel of the Infancy of Our Lord Jesus Christ', this work by Carlos Schwabe showcases the artist's signature Symbolist style. The composition features a towering, otherworldly angel addressing a group of shepherds, rendered in a striking palette of deep blues and creamy whites that evoke a mystical nocturnal atmosphere.
