André Reinosoc. 1635

Museu de São Roque

Museu de São Roque
Lisboa, Portugal

The painting features the scene of the new born Jesus lying on a manger, at the centre, being looked after by His mother Mary and Joseph. A group of shepherds surround Jesus in praise and adoration bringing Him offerings. The focus of light enhances the presence of Jesus and His mother. A glory of Heaven above shows angels singing songs of praise while playing musical instruments. This painting matches with another one on the opposite wall - "The Adoration of the Magi", both painted by André Reinoso
