The "Adoration of the Shepherds," also known as "La Notte" or "The Night," is a renowned Renaissance painting by the Italian artist Antonio Allegri da Correggio. Completed around 1530, this masterpiece is celebrated for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique that Correggio mastered and that would later influence Baroque artists. The painting depicts the biblical scene of the Nativity, where shepherds are arriving to adore the newborn Jesus Christ, who is radiating a divine light in a humble stable in Bethlehem.

Correggio's work is noted for its emotional intensity and the tender humanity it brings to the religious subject. The figures are rendered with a naturalism that was innovative for the time, and the composition is arranged in a diagonal axis, adding a dynamic movement to the scene. The divine light emanating from the infant Jesus illuminates the faces of the Virgin Mary and the shepherds with a soft, ethereal glow, creating a sense of wonder and devotion that is central to the painting's theme.

The "Adoration of the Shepherds" is a significant example of Correggio's skill in handling chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, to achieve a sense of volume and form. This technique, along with the intimate and personal portrayal of the figures, contributes to the viewer's emotional engagement with the scene.

Originally created for the church of San Prospero in Reggio Emilia, Italy, the painting now resides in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, Germany. It remains an important work in the study of Renaissance art and continues to be admired for its artistic innovation and its profound impact on the development of European painting.
