499714 Adoration of the Shepherds, c.1650 (oil on canvas)
by Cavallino, Bernardo (1616-54); 151x172 (framed) 126.8x148.3 (unframed) cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: Cavallino worked in Naples. He was not a well known artist during his lifetime, but he was alert to the work of his contemporaries and he always transformed their influence with his extraordinary delicacy and charm. The adoration of the shepherds is a traditional subject, but here Cavallino shows it in a new light. The focus is on Mary, indicating that she alone is aware of the angels who flutter above with ribbons proclaiming " Gloria in Excelsis Deo." Joseph and the shepherds stolidly regard the child; but the sweetness of Marys expression seems to reveal simultaneously her love, pride, and humility.); Mr. and Mrs. William H.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Bernardo Cavallino's "Adoration of the Shepherds" a masterpiece painted around 1650. The oil on canvas artwork, now housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, USA, depicts a traditional scene with a fresh perspective. Despite being relatively unknown during his lifetime, Cavallino's talent shines through in this piece. The focal point of the painting is Mary, who stands out amidst the shepherds and Joseph. Her expression exudes love, pride, and humility simultaneously. Above her head float angels carrying ribbons proclaiming "Gloria in Excelsis Deo" but only Mary seems to be aware of their presence. Cavallino's extraordinary delicacy and charm are evident throughout the composition. He skillfully transforms influences from his contemporaries into something unique and enchanting. This particular portrayal of the adoration of the shepherds captures viewers' attention with its tender depiction. The painting transports us back to a stable where Jesus Christ lies in a crib surrounded by cherubs and putti. The shepherds kneel before him in prayer while Mary gazes upon her child with affectionate devotion. As we admire this 17th-century masterpiece captured beautifully by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the enduring power and significance of Christian faith depicted through art.
