The Adoration of the Shepherds by El Greco: Light from the Manger, as a Vintage Poster
In the dark of a ruined stable, the strongest light comes from the newborn Child himself, lying on a white cloth, and it strikes the faces of the shepherds, the Virgin in rose and blue, and Joseph behind her. A shepherd in green kneels in the foreground, another throws up his arms in wonder, and above them a small group of angels flutters in the night air around a banner.
