The adoration of the shepherds: a night piece; the holy family sits on the right in the light of a lantern, with the Virgin lying under a sheet which she holds up from her face to look at Christ who is sleeping between her and Joseph, on the right, who holds a book and looks up towards the shepherds leaning in from the left, the one closest to the centre holding a lantern, the silhouettes of cattle in the left foreground.
Rembrandt van Rijn was a Dutch Baroque painter and printmaker, one of the greatest storytellers in the history of art, possessing an exceptional ability to render people in their various moods and dramatic guises. Rembrandt is also known as a painter of light and shade and as an artist who favored an uncompromising realism that would lead some critics to claim that he preferred ugliness to beauty.
