"Erminia tra i Pastori" (Erminia Among the Shepherds) is a baroque painting by the Italian artist Michelangelo Cerquozzi, who was active during the early to mid-17th century. Cerquozzi, known for his genre scenes and still-life paintings, was a prominent figure in the Roman school of painting and a member of the circle of artists around the influential landscape painter Claude Lorrain.

The painting depicts a scene from Torquato Tasso's epic poem "Gerusalemme Liberata" ("Jerusalem Delivered"), in which the character Erminia, a Saracen princess in love with the Christian knight Tancred, flees to the countryside after a series of dramatic events. Disguised in armor, she comes across a group of shepherds and, moved by the pastoral simplicity of their lives, reveals her true identity to them. The scene captures a moment of cultural and emotional exchange between the noblewoman and the pastoral figures, set against a landscape that reflects the idyllic and harmonious vision of nature characteristic of the Baroque period.

Cerquozzi's rendition of "Erminia tra i Pastori" is noted for its detailed depiction of the figures and the landscape, as well as its vibrant use of color. The painting is an example of the artist's skill in blending elements of the Roman Bamboccianti style, known for its realistic portrayal of everyday life, with the classical influences of his contemporaries. This work is significant for its artistic representation of a literary theme, demonstrating the interplay between visual arts and literature during the Baroque era.

While the exact date of creation for "Erminia tra i Pastori" is not well-documented, Cerquozzi's works are generally dated between the 1620s and his death in 1660. The painting is a testament to the artist's versatility and his ability to infuse narrative paintings with a sense of immediacy and naturalism. It remains an important piece within Cerquozzi's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of 17th-century Italian art and its cultural context.
