About the Artwork

Title: The Adoration of the Shepherds
Artist: Philippe de Champaigne
Date: c. 1645
Collection: The Wallace Collection, London

Painted around 1645 by Philippe de Champaigne, this Baroque masterpiece captures the humble wonder of the shepherds gathered before the newborn Christ. The Christ Child, wrapped in swaddling clothes, radiates the light that fills the scene, while a bound lamb offered by the shepherds foreshadows His sacrifice on the Cross. With its quiet drama and divine illumination, this painting invites reflection on the mystery of the Incarnation and God’s gift of salvation.

Spiritual Reflection

This painting invites us to contemplate the mystery of the Incarnation, when God chose to reveal Himself in poverty and simplicity. The shepherds’ wonder becomes our own as we kneel with them before the Saviour, whose light still shines in every humble heart that welcomes Him. In the stillness of that holy night, heaven touches earth, and faith is born in the warmth of love.

“And the angel said to them, ‘Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.’”
Luke 2:10-11
