"The Adoration of the Shepherds, after Castiglione" is a notable artwork by the French painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806). This painting is a reinterpretation of the original work by the Italian Baroque artist Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, known as Il Grechetto. Fragonard, celebrated for his Rococo style, which emphasized grace, charm, and gentle action, brings his own sensibility to this religious subject matter.

The painting depicts the biblical scene of the Nativity, where shepherds are gathered to adore the newborn Jesus Christ. This theme has been a staple in Christian art, symbolizing the humble recognition of Jesus's divinity. Fragonard's version is characterized by its dynamic composition, the interplay of light and shadow, and the tender expressions of the figures involved. The work showcases Fragonard's skill in capturing the textures of the natural world and the human form, as well as his ability to convey the emotional resonance of the scene.

While Fragonard is best known for his lighthearted and erotic subjects, "The Adoration of the Shepherds, after Castiglione" illustrates his capacity to engage with more traditional and serious themes. The painting not only reflects Fragonard's artistic versatility but also serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Italian Baroque art on French Rococo painters. The artwork is an example of the cross-cultural artistic dialogues that were common in the 18th century, demonstrating how artists borrowed from and reinterpreted the works of their predecessors.

The painting is significant in the oeuvre of Fragonard as it represents his engagement with religious art and his reverence for the Old Masters. It also contributes to the understanding of artistic trends and cultural exchange in 18th-century Europe. As with many of Fragonard's works, "The Adoration of the Shepherds, after Castiglione" is admired for its vitality, painterly skill, and emotional depth.
