"The Adoration of the Shepherds (detail)" c. 1614 is a significant work by the renowned Mannerist painter El Greco, whose real name was Domenikos Theotokopoulos. El Greco, originally from Crete, spent the majority of his career in Spain, where he developed a distinctive style characterized by elongated figures, dramatic use of color, and expressive compositions. This particular painting is a detail from a larger composition that depicts the biblical scene of the shepherds visiting the newborn Jesus, a popular subject in Christian art that symbolizes the recognition of Christ by the humble and the lowly.

Created around 1614, towards the end of El Greco's life, "The Adoration of the Shepherds" exemplifies the artist's mature style. The painting is noted for its dynamic composition and the intense emotional expressions of the figures, which are hallmarks of El Greco's work. The shepherds are depicted with elongated limbs and expressive faces, their gestures conveying a sense of awe and reverence. The use of light and color in the painting is particularly striking; El Greco employs a dramatic chiaroscuro to highlight the divine nature of the infant Jesus, who is bathed in a celestial glow that contrasts with the darker, more subdued tones of the surrounding figures.

El Greco's unique approach to form and color was influenced by his early training in Byzantine iconography, as well as his exposure to Venetian Renaissance art and the Spanish mysticism of his adopted homeland. "The Adoration of the Shepherds" reflects these diverse influences, combining the spiritual intensity of Byzantine icons with the rich color palette and dynamic compositions of the Venetian school. The painting is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it continues to be admired for its emotional depth and technical mastery.
