Adoration of the Shepherds is an oil on canvas painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, from 1775.
It was previously misattributed to François Boucher.
[2][3] It is sometimes considered as a pendant to the far more secular The Bolt, as both works were commissioned by Louis-Gabriel Véri-Raionard, marquis de Véri (1722–1785).
Fragonard suggested its subject, showing his wish to revive religious art and illustrate contrasts between contemporary carnal love and sacred religious love.
