Adoration of the shepherds - Large high-relief, Northern Italy or Tyrol cir

Large high relief in carved and gilt wood, with many traces of polychromy, representing the Adoration of the Shepherds.
The evangelist Luke first mentions that the scene takes place at night. A sudden light, which frightens the shepherds, signals the arrival of an angel who announces "great joy". He gives them a sign: they will find "a newborn baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. The shepherds hurried to Bethlehem and discovered Mary, Joseph and the newborn child. They spread the news and return to their flocks "glorifying and praising God". Gloria in excelsis Deo , as indicated in the phylactery at top left of the high relief.
Coniferous wood; Northern Italy or Tyrol, circa 1500-1520.
