EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of the biblical tale of the Nativity, with shepherds gathered around the new-born King, their faces filled with awe and wonder. The heavenly armies of angels, depicted in radiant robes and halos, look down from above, singing praises to the infant Savior. The scene is set in a rustic, historical context, with the shepherds tending to their flock of sheep in the background. The painting, created in 1875, is a beautiful representation of the events described in the Bible, specifically in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The shepherds, who were the first to receive the news of Jesus' birth from the angels, are shown spreading the good news to others, fulfilling the prophecy in the Old Testament that "a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman as she was about to give birth, ready to devour her child as soon as it was born. She gave birth to a son, a male child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod and was described as 'the king of kings and Lord of lords.' Then those who had been martyred for their testimony about Jesus and for the word of God, who had not been given life until now, came to life and reigned with him for a thousand years." (Revelation 12:1-5) This powerful and moving image is a testament to the enduring significance of the Nativity story in religious and cultural history.
