"Adoration of the Shepherds" is a renowned oil-on-canvas painting by the Greek artist Domenikos Theotokopoulos, more popularly known as El Greco. Created between 1597 and 1597, it is housed currently in the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid, Spain. The painting, which measures 319 by 180 cm, is among El Greco's final works, reflecting his dramatic and expressive style towards the end of the 16th century.

The painting vividly portrays the biblical story of the birth of Jesus Christ, as described the Gospel of Luke. In the scene, the shepherds are seen adoring the newborn Christ in a nocturnal, ethereal setting. El Greco's unique understanding of mysticism and spiritualism is encapsulated through electric colors, elongated figures, and profound light contrasts employed in the painting.

The artist himself regarded this painting as his masterwork, to the extent that he wished it to be displayed over his tomb. However, over the years, the "Adoration of the Shepherds" has been widely admired for more than just the wishes of its creator—it remains a significant example of El Greco's unique approach to Mannerist painting, demonstrating emotion, movement, and a sense of transcendence that underscores his role as a master of the Spanish Renaissance.

It is to be noted that "Adoration of the Shepherds" was created in a period of social and religious turbulence, during the Counter-Reformation. This aspect infuses deeper meaning into the spirituality emanating from the painting, making it a pivotal piece in understanding the confluence of history, faith, and art in El Greco's oeuvre.
