The "Adoration of the Shepherds" (1482-85) is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Domenico Ghirlandaio, located in the Sassetti Chapel of the church of Santa Trinita in Florence, Italy. This work is part of a series of frescoes commissioned by the wealthy banker Francesco Sassetti, who desired to decorate the chapel with scenes from the life of St. Francis of Assisi, as well as traditional Christian narratives such as the Nativity.

Ghirlandaio's "Adoration of the Shepherds" is celebrated for its harmonious composition and the skillful incorporation of contemporary Florentine society into a biblical scene. The fresco depicts the moment after the birth of Jesus Christ, where shepherds are invited by angels to witness the newborn. The Virgin Mary is centrally placed, presenting the Christ Child to the adoring shepherds, while St. Joseph rests contemplatively in the background.

The work is notable for its detailed representation of the figures and the landscape, as well as the use of perspective, which was a relatively new technique at the time. Ghirlandaio's mastery in rendering textures and his ability to convey the humanity of the sacred figures contribute to the fresco's acclaim. The inclusion of portraits of contemporary Florentines, including possibly a self-portrait of Ghirlandaio himself, provides a fascinating glimpse into the era and showcases the artist's connection to his patrons and peers.

The "Adoration of the Shepherds" is a quintessential example of Ghirlandaio's artistry and an important work within the context of the Italian Renaissance. It reflects the cultural and religious milieu of Florence in the late 15th century and continues to be admired for its aesthetic beauty and historical significance.
