EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Adoration of Magi" painting by Joos van Wassenove, created in 1465. The artwork, rendered in tempera on canvas, measures an impressive 186.7x306.7 cm and is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The scene depicted in this 15th-century masterpiece revolves around a pivotal moment from the New Testament - the adoration of the Magi. In this religious tableau, we witness three wise men paying homage to the newborn Christ child and presenting him with precious gifts. Wassenove's Flemish background shines through his meticulous attention to detail and vibrant color palette. The composition exudes a sense of reverence as Mary cradles baby Jesus while Joseph looks on with awe-struck wonderment. This painting not only captures a significant event from Christianity but also provides us with glimpses into life during medieval times in Belgium. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical context. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back centuries ago, invited to contemplate the profound significance of Christ's birth and marvel at Wassenove's ability to bring it to life on canvas.
