EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detail from the right panel of the renowned Portinari Altarpiece, painted by Hugo van der Goes in 1479. The scene depicted is none other than the arrival of the Magi, or wise men, at the birthplace of Christ. Set against a backdrop of majestic mountains and rolling hills, this Flemish masterpiece transports us to an enchanting outdoor setting. The composition draws our attention to three figures on horseback who are approaching with great reverence. Clad in vibrant robes and adorned with crowns, these kings carry gifts for the newborn Messiah. The open pages of a book held by one figure suggest that they have followed ancient prophecies leading them to this sacred moment. The lush greenery surrounding them adds a sense of welcoming tranquility to the scene. Tall trees frame their arrival while also symbolizing life and growth. This detail captures not only their physical journey but also their spiritual quest for truth and salvation. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece of medieval art, we are reminded of its significance as part of an altarpiece meant for religious worship. Its intricate details and masterful technique serve as testaments to Van der Goes' skill as an artist. This print allows us to appreciate every brushstroke and immerse ourselves in the beauty and spirituality captured within this small section of a larger triptych known as Triptyque Portinari.
