AN ANGEL'S REVELATION TO THE SHEPHERDS (1899) by ALBERT EDELFELT

The painting depicts the biblical scene of the angel's announcement of JESUS'birth to the shepherds. The painting is filled with a sense of awe and wonder, as the shepherds gaze up at the angel in the night sky.

The angel is the focal point of the painting, with its brilliant white wings and glowing presence. Its out stretched arms and open palms convey a sense of peace and welcome, inviting the shepherds to come and witness the miracle of JESUS' birth. The use of light in the painting also adds to the angel's ethereal quality, as it seems to radiate from within.

EDELFELT'S use of color is also significant in this painting. The dark, muted tones of the landscape and the shepherds' clothing contrast with the angel's bright and vibrant appearance, symbolizing the contrast between the earthly realm and the divine realm.

The shepherds themselves are depicted as humble and awestruck, as they kneel in reverence and raise their hands in prayer. This reflects their recognition of the angel's message and their willingness to accept it and follow its guidance.

Overall, 'An Angel's Revelation to the Shepherds' captures the powerful moment of the angel's announcement and the impact it has on the shepherds. Through his skillful use of light, color, and composition, Edelfelt conveys the sense of wonder and excitement surrounding Jesus' birth and the significance of this event for the shepherds and all humanity.
