Description | English: The Gospel of Luke recounts how some shepherds, informed by an angel of the birth of the Saviour, arrive at the manger in Bethlehem to joyfully adore the newborn. The scene shows the Holy Family and the shepherds, but also the legendary shepherdesses who brought gifts of eggs and milk. Jordaens’ encounter with Caravaggio’s Madonna of the Rosary in the Dominican church at Antwerp may have inspired the realism of his rustic figures, as well as strong natural lighting and deeply accented shadows. Svenska: Lukasevangeliet berättar hur ängeln uppenbarar sig för herdarna med glädjebudskapet att Frälsaren är född. De beger sig till Betlehem för att beskåda Jesusbarnet. Utöver den heliga familjen och herdarna inkluderar scenen även herdinnor, som enligt traditionen medförde gåvor av ägg och mjölk. Figurernas vardagsnära realism och ljussättningen med bländande dagsljus och djupa skuggor inspirerades måhända av mötet med Caravaggios Rosenkransmadonna i Antwerpens dominikanerkyrka. |
