"Christ the Good Shepherd" is a notable oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created around 1660. This work is part of a series of religious-themed paintings that Murillo produced during his career, which often depicted themes of compassion, innocence, and pastoral care. The painting portrays Jesus Christ as the Good Shepherd, a metaphor derived from the Christian New Testament, where Christ is described as a shepherd who tends to his flock, symbolizing his care and guidance for his followers.

In this depiction, Murillo presents a tender and intimate image of Christ, who is shown as a young, compassionate figure in a pastoral landscape, embodying the virtues of kindness and protection associated with the role of a shepherd. The figure of Christ is often depicted with a lamb, representing the souls of the faithful, and this painting is no exception. The lamb is typically shown in a state of calm repose, indicating the safety and comfort provided by the shepherd's presence.

Murillo's use of soft, warm tones and his mastery of light contribute to the serene and harmonious atmosphere of the painting, which is characteristic of his mature style. The composition, with its gentle chiaroscuro and the naturalistic rendering of the figures and landscape, reflects the influence of contemporary Italian painters and Murillo's own sensitivity to the spiritual and emotional dimensions of religious subjects.

"Christ the Good Shepherd" is considered an important work within Murillo's oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in conveying religious sentiment and his contribution to the development of Spanish Baroque art. The painting is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and its ability to evoke a sense of divine benevolence and pastoral tranquility. It remains a significant piece for the study of 17th-century Spanish painting and for understanding the religious and cultural context in which it was created.
