EDITORS COMMENTS
"Jan Steen's 'The Adoration of the Shepherds' (1660-1679) is a captivating oil on canvas painting that transports us back to the humble scene of the Nativity in Bethlehem. Set against a rustic backdrop, the painting showcases the simple yet profound moment when the shepherds, having been visited by an angel, come to pay homage to the newborn Christ Child. The central figure of the composition is the Virgin Mary, cradling her infant Son in her arms, while Joseph looks on with a protective gaze. The Christ Child reaches out towards the shepherds, extending a warm welcome to these humble visitors. The shepherds, dressed in traditional garb, bring their livestock to the manger as a symbol of their devotion and gratitude. Jan Steen masterfully captures the essence of the Dutch Golden Age, with its emphasis on the simple pleasures of rural life. The painting is filled with vibrant colors and rich textures, from the lush green landscape to the intricately patterned clothing of the figures.
