The Adoration of the Magi — Jan Jansz Mostaert

Jan Jansz Mostaert. Painted c. 1520 - c. 1525.

This painting ‘zooms in’ on the adoration of the magi to such an extent that, as a spectator, you feel almost present at the birth. The kings bring gifts for baby Jesus, who is not in a lowly stable, but in the ruins of a palace - that of King David, where, according to legend, Jesus was born many centuries later.

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Currently on display in Christian art in the Netherlands, Middle Ages and Renaissance, Main building.
