EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print captures a timeless scene from the biblical story of Christmas. Painted by an English School artist in the 19th century, it depicts shepherds tending their flocks under a starlit sky when suddenly they are alerted to the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ. The image exudes a sense of awe and wonder as the shepherds gather around the newborn babe, guided by angelic seraphs. Published as a Christmas card by Marcus Ward, this artwork beautifully conveys the essence of the holiday season. It serves as a reminder of the humble beginnings and divine significance behind our festive celebrations. The serene expressions on both human and animal faces reflect the peacefulness that accompanies this sacred event. The composition skillfully combines elements from nature with spiritual symbolism, emphasizing unity between man and creation. The soft hues and delicate details create an atmosphere filled with reverence and joy. This print is not just an exquisite piece of art but also carries deep religious meaning for those who celebrate Christmas. Displayed in private collections over time, this cherished work continues to inspire viewers with its profound message. Whether displayed during Christmastime or year-round, it serves as a visual testament to faith, love, and hope associated with Jesus' birth – making it an ideal addition to any home or place of worship.
