Jan de Bray
The Adoration of the Shepherds

Zu sehen in Saal 16

In the stable in Bethlehem, three shepherds kneel worshipping the newborn baby Jesus. Mary is lifting the covers to show them the Child. The warm light and subdued colours lend an intimate atmosphere to the painting, which is reflected in the loving gestures of the figures.

Jan de Bray came from a Haarlem family of painters and architects, and specialised in portraits and history paintings.
