"The Adoration of the Shepherds" is a painting attributed to Flemish artist Jacob de Backer (c. 1555–c. 1585), a figure about whom little is known, including the exact details of his life and oeuvre. The painting depicts the biblical scene of the Nativity, where shepherds are shown visiting the newborn Jesus Christ in Bethlehem, as described in the Gospel of Luke. This theme has been a popular subject in Christian art, symbolizing the revelation of Christ to the common people.

De Backer's rendition of this scene is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures. The composition typically features the Holy Family at the center, with the infant Jesus radiating divine light that illuminates the surrounding figures. The shepherds' expressions of awe and reverence, as well as the intimate interaction among the characters, contribute to the painting's emotional impact.

Although the exact date of creation is uncertain, "The Adoration of the Shepherds" by Jacob de Backer is believed to have been painted in the late 16th century, during the Northern Renaissance when religious themes dominated the artistic landscape. De Backer's work is often noted for its combination of Northern European influences and the emerging styles of the Italian Renaissance, which he may have encountered through the Antwerp art market or through travel.

The painting's provenance and current location are not well-documented, reflecting the general scarcity of information about de Backer's life and works. Due to this lack of concrete data, the attribution of the painting to Jacob de Backer is based on stylistic analysis and comparison with other works believed to be by the artist. Art historians continue to study de Backer's contributions to Flemish art, and "The Adoration of the Shepherds" remains an important piece for understanding his artistic legacy and the religious iconography of the period.
