The Adoration of the Shepherds 

This engraving by Francesco Denanto, depicts the biblical event of the "Adoration of the Shepherds." The central figures of the nativity are surrounded by shepherds, kneeling in awe of the newborn Christ. The scene is set in a stable, with a large archway leading to the interior. Above, angels are depicted floating in the sky, signaling the divine event. The detailed figures and dramatic composition, typical of Renaissance art, make this engraving a compelling example of the period's religious imagery.
