The Adoration of the Shepherds repeats motifs found in several paintings of the Italian and early Antwerp period of the master, though on the whole it is a completely new composition.
The Adoration of the Shepherds has an intimate character and is noted for the emphasis on the genre treatment of a subject from the Evangels.
The small-scale Adoration of the Shepherds is rich in genre motifs that are inherent in the narrative principle and this distinguishes it from the lÞfty structure of other altarpieces.

 Cleveland Museum of Art - Adoration of the Shepherds (Bernardo Cavallino)
He was not a well known artist during his lifetime, but he was alert to the work of his contemporaries and he always transformed their influence with his extraordinary delicacy and charm.
The adoration of the shepherds is a traditional subject, but here Cavallino shows it in a new light.
The focus is on Mary, indicating that she alone is aware of the angels who flutter above with ribbons proclaiming "Gloria in Excelsis Deo." Joseph and the shepherds stolidly regard the child; but the sweetness of Mary's expression seems to reveal simultaneously her love, pride, and humility.

 Annibale Carracci, cat. 94 - NGA
He began on the far left, with a rapid study of the bagpiper and two small shepherds, each holding crooks, dancing to his tune.
Annibale's shepherd plays bagpipes with smaller reeds, but his fat cheeks and intense concentration are similar to those of the piper on the Aldobrandini sarcophagus.
Drawings such as Studies for an Adoration of the Shepherds became the supreme example for Annibale's followers of a new, expressive style, and characterized the drawings of artists such as Pier Francesco Mola and Pietro Testa in Rome, and Rembrandt in the north, for generations to come.

 Adoration of the Shepherds by GHIRLANDAIO, Domenico
The altarpiece the Adoration of the Shepherds is the chapel 's key work not only in subject, but also in artistic merit.
The artist, who is leading the shepherds, is kneeling and bringing the miracle of the birth of Christ to the attention of both the shepherds and the observers of the picture.
In his Adoration of the Shepherds, Ghirlandaio combines this reference to the Roman classical age with knowledge of Flemish art and turns them into an integrated whole.

 Center for Visual Culture - Student Projects
Bronzino’s Adoration of the Shepherds (1535-1540) is considered by many art historians to be the turning point in Bronzino's oeuvre, and this issue I briefly addressed in my MA thesis.
The former art historians saw the Budapest Adoration as a painting in which Bronzino lost touch with his master’s expressive energy and turned to a more restrained style, a style more suitable for the Medici Court and the Florentine Academy.
The latter art historians highly praised The Adoration, because it was, in their account, the first painting in Bronzino’s opus in which his style had become classicised, and thus closer to a High Maniera work of art.

Adoration of the Shepherds by GRECO, El GRECO, El (b.
Greco's great painting, like this Adoration, are ecstatic visions, in an unearthly light, with dreamlike distortions of forms, released from earthly perceptions.
Mystics have spoken of luminous apparitions, poets have continually sought to reproduce dream faces in words: Greco caught the visions of those in ecstasy and the magic imagery of the dreamers in line and colour, in exact recollection of the experience and without assimilation to the visible world.

 Adoration of the Shepherds by CARAVAGGIO
A Franciscan simplicity pervades it: in the wooden barn a donkey and an ox stand patiently at the back, there is straw on the floor and in a basket the Holy Family have a loaf of bread, the carpenter's tools of Joseph and some pieces of cloth.
Joseph (in red) introduces the shepherds, in brown and grey, to the young Virgin Mother, whose dress is a brighter red.
Mary cuddles her baby peacefully and, apart from two haloes, only the bare-shouldered young man, who kneels with clasped hands, gives the moment of the child's discovery a hint of its meaning.

On the ground in the exact center of this painting lies the baby Jesus, surrounded by his mother the Virgin Mary, her husband Joseph, an angel playing a lute and on either side of the painting, shepherds who have come to visit.
This baby Jesus is positioned at the center of the painting and he's the center of everyone's attention.
Our attention is also focused on the baby because Mary's body is bending toward the baby on the left and the diagonal line of the shepherd's staff on the right.

In 1618, the artist's son did not reach an agreement with the nuns about the rent to be paid for the crypt and Greco's mortal remains were removed to San Torcuato Church, lost at present.
The subject originates in Saint Luke's, who narrates how an angel of the Lord stood by the shepherds to bring them the Good News and how the shepherds came to the crib to adore the Child.
At the lower part, Mary, Joseph and three shepherds form a circle around the Child; above, a chorus of angels hold a phylactery with the inscription GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO ET IN TERRA PAX.

Once the central panel of an altarpiece, this painting simultaneously depicts the Adoration of the Christ Child and the Annunciation to the Shepherds, shown in the upper right.
To create clear spatial relationships, the artist employed overlapping planes and daring, if naive, perspective—most evident in the projecting roof of the stable.
The setting of the narrative combines the Byzantine tradition of representing the Adoration in a cave with the Western iconography of a stable.

 CHRISTMAS - Messiah's Birthday?
When He was born "there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night" (Luke 2:8).
The shepherds always brought their flocks from the mountainsides and fields and corralled them not later than October 15, to protect them from the cold rainy season that followed that date.
In numerous ways it was similar to Christianity: the ideals of humility and brotherly love, baptism, communion, holy water, adoration of shepherds present at the birth of Mithras, Sunday, December 25th, immortality of the soul, the last judgment and resurrection.

 The State Hermitage Museum: Hermitage News
The exhibition of El Greco's Adoration of the Shepherds and Baptism of Christ has been organized thorough the agreement on the exchange of paintings between the Hermitage and the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica.
The Hermitage possesses two works by El Greco - Portrait of the Poet Alonso de Ercilla (circa 1577) and The Apostles Peter and Paul (1587-92), belonging to his early and mature Spanish periods respectively.
The Adoration of the Shepherds and The Baptism of Christ reflect the artist's late style that is not reflected in the Hermitage and this factor determined the choice of paintings for exhibition.
