Having been a devout follower of the brotherhood of St. Benedict, Dolci draws upon a strict Christian iconography in his depiction of the shepherds' witness account of the birth of Christ. --Charles Eppley (January 2009)", "external_resources": {"wikidata": ["https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q60469968"], "internet_archive": ["https://archive.org/details/clevelandart-1968.22-adoration-of-the-she"]}, "citations": [{"citation": "Waagen, Gustav Friedrich, Elizabeth Eastlake, and Algernon Graves. <em>Treasures of Art in Great Britain: Being an Account of the Chief Collections of Paintings, Drawings, Sculptures, Illuminated Mss., &amp;C. &amp;C</em>.
