The "Adoration of the Shepherds (The Night), detail, Maria and child" is a celebrated fragment of a larger altarpiece created by the Italian Renaissance master Antonio Allegri da Correggio. Correggio, whose real name was Antonio Allegri, was born in 1489 in Correggio, a small town in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, and he became one of the most influential painters of the High Renaissance. His works are renowned for their dynamic compositions, innovative use of light and shadow, and emotional intensity.

The "Adoration of the Shepherds," often referred to as "The Night," was completed around 1528-1530 and originally served as an altarpiece for the church of San Prospero in Reggio Emilia. The painting depicts the nativity scene, focusing on the moment when the shepherds arrive to pay homage to the newborn Christ. This particular detail, featuring Maria (the Virgin Mary) and the Christ Child, exemplifies Correggio's masterful use of chiaroscuro, the technique of using strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and three-dimensionality.

In this detail, the Virgin Mary is shown tenderly gazing at her newborn son, who lies in a manger. The light emanating from the Christ Child illuminates Mary's serene face and the surrounding figures, creating a dramatic and intimate atmosphere. Correggio's skillful rendering of textures, from the soft folds of Mary's garments to the delicate features of the infant Jesus, highlights his exceptional talent and attention to detail.

The "Adoration of the Shepherds" is considered one of Correggio's masterpieces and a significant work in the history of Renaissance art. It reflects the artist's ability to convey deep emotion and spirituality through his innovative use of light and composition. Today, the painting is housed in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, Germany, where it continues to be admired for its beauty and technical brilliance.
