EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of "The Adoration of the Shepherds" by Hendrik Goltzius, created around 1599. The scene depicts a moment of profound worship and reverence as shepherds gather around the newborn Christ child in a humble stable. The soft candlelight illuminates their faces, casting gentle shadows that add depth to this engraving. Goltzius' meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke, from the intricate folds of clothing to the expressions on each individual's face. The artist skillfully portrays the awe and wonder felt by these ordinary men who have been touched by something extraordinary. In this Netherlandish masterpiece, Goltzius invites us into a world where religion and agriculture intertwine harmoniously. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness not only an iconic biblical event but also a glimpse into rural life during the 16th century. "The Adoration of the Shepherds" serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and faith traditions. It speaks to our universal desire for connection with something greater than ourselves. Through his artistry, Goltzius immortalizes this sacred moment between mother and child while inviting us all to join in worship alongside these devout worshippers. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print continues to inspire contemplation and reflection on themes central to Christianity - love, devotion, humility - reminding us that even amidst darkness there is always light
