In the eighteenth century, this painting was attributed to Giovanni Lanfransso, and later to the Bazzano family. Since 1951, El Greco’s authorship has been officially accepted, but nevertheless, there is a connection between this picture and the works of Bazzano. Perhaps this particular picture was the first work of the so-called cycle of “night” paintings by El Greco.
X-ray examination showed that the upper part of the canvas was completely repainted, and the upper edge of the canvas was cut off.
The artist repeatedly turned to the theme of Adoration of the Shepherds, one of the early works known to us – the Fold of the Modena Polyptych, created several years earlier.
