"The Angel Appearing to the Shepherds" is a 1634 etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, which depicts a scene from the Christian biblical narrative of the Nativity of Jesus. In this work, Rembrandt illustrates the moment described in the Gospel of Luke (2:8-14), where an angel of the Lord visits shepherds in the fields near Bethlehem to announce the birth of Christ. This etching is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro, which Rembrandt employed to convey the divine nature of the event and to focus the viewer's attention on the central figures of the angel and the astonished shepherds.

Measuring approximately 262 by 218 millimeters, the etching is a fine example of Rembrandt's skill in handling the etching medium to achieve a range of tonal effects. The composition is dynamic, with the angel's radiant light piercing the darkness, causing the shepherds and their flock to react with a mixture of awe and fear. Rembrandt's mastery of detail is evident in the varied expressions of the shepherds and the naturalistic rendering of the landscape and animals.

"The Angel Appearing to the Shepherds" is part of Rembrandt's larger body of work that explores religious themes and reflects his deep engagement with biblical stories. The etching is held in high esteem for its artistic and emotional impact, and it is considered one of the artist's most significant contributions to the genre of biblical art. Today, impressions of the etching can be found in various art museums and collections around the world, where it continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its evocative portrayal of a pivotal moment in Christian iconography.
