Adoration of the Shepherds is an oil on panel painting by
Correggio
, an influence which only faded after 1524.
A preparatory drawing for the Madonna, angels and Joseph survives in a London private collection and was exhibited in Washington and Parma, also showing the influence of Correggio, whilst the two rams and a lamb in the bottom left may be a tribute to the bucranium in that painter's Camera di San Paolo. Another drawing in the Cleveland Museum of Art (inv. 24–10003) may be a first idea for the composition, later elaborated.[1]
