This is a typical subject by the painter from Veneto, who, here, uses a sampling from the characters of his art, regular people painted with stark realism. The details are splendid: the descending light carrying the divine word from an angel and falling onto a pastor who covers his eyes to avoid being blinded; the woman with her back turned; the night landscape in the background.
