Join our Director Dr Xavier Bray as he explores ‘The Adoration of the Shepherds’, a religious masterpiece by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. 🎥 Mary reveals the newborn Christ to the shepherds, who come bearing doves and a bound lamb. Realistic details, such as the straw hat and the dirty foot of the shepherd in the foreground, lend the picture a feeling of intimacy which intensifies the child’s brilliant, central light.
