About Artwork: (Before 1660) "The Virgin Mary gazes down at the infant Christ Child, who lies on a woven manger: wisps of hay poke through the sides of the basketwork. Beside them Saint Joseph leans on a stick; on the right the shepherds look on in wonder, their humble gift of a lamb lying on the floor beside the manger. Other figures crowd around the edges and a small dog even perches its front paws on a step to get a better view of the baby. This is the Adoration of the Shepherds, as described in the Gospel of Luke (2: 16–17). This painting entered the National Gallery’s collection, damaged and largely repainted, in 1884.Having been ascribed to both Spanish and Italian artists, recent conservation has revealed the painting to be a typical work by the idiosyncratic Neapolitan painter, Giovanni Battista Spinelli." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
