Today December 25 2017 is Christmas
'The Adoration of the Shepherds', c. 1630s
Location: National Gallery, London.
Artist : Anonymous
Jonathan Jones writes about the picture:
"This powerfully realistic portrayal of the humble shepherds
who came to see the new born Christ is palpably influenced by Caravaggio and
was probably painted in Naples about two decades after he worked there. Who can
have created this tough yet tender image of the Christmas story? It is a
mystery, but Naples was under Spanish rule and as well as being Caravaggeian
this resembles The Adoration of the Magi by Velazquez. A painting to open
hearts."
This is great but...what happens next?
Artist: Geoff Thompson, The Spectator, December 2016
