"Erminia Among the Shepherds" is a notable oil painting by Francesco de Mura (1696–1782), an Italian artist of the late Baroque period, also known as the Rococo era. De Mura, born in Naples, was a prominent painter whose works were characterized by their softness and elegance, and he was particularly renowned for his frescoes and religious compositions. The painting "Erminia Among the Shepherds" is inspired by an episode from Torquato Tasso's epic poem "Jerusalem Delivered" ("La Gerusalemme liberata"), which was a popular source of artistic and literary inspiration during the Baroque period.

The artwork depicts the moment when Erminia, a character from Tasso's poem, takes refuge among shepherds after fleeing from the turmoil of the crusades. In the narrative, Erminia is a Saracen princess who falls in love with the Christian knight Tancred. The painting captures the pastoral serenity and the contrast between Erminia's regal appearance and the rustic simplicity of the shepherds' life. De Mura's treatment of the subject is notable for its delicate color palette, the graceful portrayal of the figures, and the harmonious integration of the characters with the surrounding landscape.

"Erminia Among the Shepherds" is an exemplary work that illustrates de Mura's skill in blending the grandeur of history painting with the charm of pastoral themes. It reflects the broader cultural interests of the 18th century, where literary themes were often intertwined with visual arts, and showcases the artist's ability to convey narrative and emotion through his painting. The work is significant for its artistic merit as well as its representation of the cultural and aesthetic values of the time.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not universally agreed upon, it is generally attributed to the mid-18th century. The painting is part of de Mura's mature period, during which he produced some of his most acclaimed works. "Erminia Among the Shepherds" remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Francesco de Mura, contributing to our understanding of the cultural and artistic landscape of 18th-century Italy.
