"The Good Shepherd" is a notable painting by the French Baroque artist Philippe de Champaigne, created approximately between 1650 and 1660. This work is emblematic of Champaigne's religious paintings, which often reflect the austere and contemplative spirituality characteristic of the Jansenist movement, with which the artist was closely associated. The painting depicts the biblical metaphor of the Good Shepherd, a theme derived from the Gospel of John, where Jesus Christ is described as a shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep, symbolizing care, guidance, and sacrifice.

In this work, Champaigne portrays the Good Shepherd in a serene landscape, tenderly cradling a lamb, which represents the Christian soul that Christ protects and saves. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with a clear emphasis on simplicity and a restrained color palette, both hallmarks of Champaigne's mature style. The figure of Christ is rendered with a compassionate expression, capturing the essence of divine benevolence and pastoral care.

"The Good Shepherd" by Philippe de Champaigne is considered an important example of 17th-century French religious art, reflecting the theological and artistic sensibilities of the period. The painting is appreciated for its devotional quality, technical mastery, and the emotional resonance of its subject matter. It remains a significant work within Champaigne's oeuvre, contributing to our understanding of the religious and cultural context of the time.
