Aanbidding door de herders 1863

"Aanbidding door de herders" (Adoration of the Shepherds) is a black and white etching created by Léopold Flameng in 1863. The artwork depicts the biblical event of the shepherds visiting the newborn Jesus in the manger, surrounded by angels and livestock. Flameng's meticulous detail and skillful use of light and shadow create a sense of awe and wonder around the central figures of the nativity scene. The work is characteristic of Flameng's style, which combined realistic depiction with an emphasis on emotional expression. This print, with its dimensions of 207 mm in height and 296 mm in width, is a classic example of religious art from the 19th century.
