EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 19th-century print, titled "Shepherds Visited," depicts a significant moment from the Nativity story as recorded in the Bible's New Testament. In the stillness of the night, three shepherds are tending to their flocks, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of their campfire. Suddenly, an angel appears before them, heralding the birth of a new king, Jesus Christ. The shepherds, awestruck by the celestial being, listen intently as she shares the news of this miraculous event. The historical significance of this moment is profound. The humble shepherds, who were often overlooked and undervalued in society, were chosen by God to be the first to learn of His son's birth. This print captures the wonder and reverence of their experience, as they leave their flocks behind to go and pay homage to the newborn king. The image is a reminder of the power of divine intervention and the importance of staying attuned to the signs of the world around us. It also highlights the theme of the unexpected nature of God's grace, as the shepherds, who were in the midst of their daily routine, were given a message that would forever change the course of history. This beautiful print, created in 1875, is a testament to the enduring power of religious art to inspire and transport us, inviting us to contemplate the mysteries of the human experience and the divine intervention that shapes our world.
