"The Annunciation to the Shepherds" is a painting by Henry Ossawa Tanner, an African American artist renowned for his works that blend religious themes with a unique style influenced by academic art and impressionism. Created in 1898, this work is part of Tanner's extensive biblical series, which he embarked upon after his move to France, where he experienced a more accepting environment for artists of color.

The painting depicts the moment from the Christian New Testament when angels appear to shepherds in the fields near Bethlehem to announce the birth of Jesus Christ. Tanner's interpretation of this scene is noted for its atmospheric and ethereal quality, achieved through his use of light and shadow, which gives the work a sense of divine presence and spiritual intensity.

Measuring 32 x 40 inches, the oil on canvas composition showcases Tanner's mastery of color and form, as he portrays the shepherds' awe and wonder upon receiving the heavenly message. The artist's nuanced approach to the biblical narrative reflects his personal faith and his desire to express religious experiences in a manner that resonates with a universal audience.

"The Annunciation to the Shepherds" is part of the collection at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. Tanner's work, including this painting, has been celebrated for its contribution to religious art and its role in challenging the racial barriers of his time. As one of the most prominent African American artists of the 19th century, Tanner's legacy continues to be appreciated for its artistic and cultural significance.
