"Nativity and Annunciation to the Shepherds" is a painting by Bernardino Luini, a 16th century Italian artist, currently housed in the Louvre in Paris. The painting depicts the Nativity of Jesus with the angel announcing the birth to the shepherds. This scene is a popular subject in Christian art, and Luini's depiction is characterized by its realism and detailed figures. The artist's style, influenced by the High Renaissance, is evident in the balanced composition and the use of sfumato, which creates a soft and hazy effect, giving the figures a sense of serenity.
