EDITORS COMMENTS
. This oil on canvas painting from the 19th century, titled "The Angel Appearing to the Shepherds" transports us back in time to a serene and rural scene. Set against the backdrop of a starry night sky, we witness an awe-inspiring moment that forever changed the lives of these humble shepherds. In this biblical narrative, English School artist skillfully captures the essence of astonishment and wonder on the faces of these men as they guard their flock. The luminous glow emanating from both celestial beings and animals alike creates an ethereal atmosphere, emphasizing the divine nature of this encounter.
