Jacopo Basso (1515-1592) often painted the theme of Adoration of the Shephers, porposing it in the same compositive way and style; it was also widely recovered by his workshop. Jacopo from Ponte was known as Bassano because of his hometown where hi lived and worke his entire life; even if he studied at the venetian school of painting and it was inspired by Mannerism during his youth he developed his own style capable of painting human figures and animals catching the right light and paying attention to the details as in the religious subjects where evene the human figures are painted item by item creating lively, creative and not repetitive compositions. The painting had been restored and displayd in a frame made with ancient wood that had been connected by readjusting them and gilding them again.
