The Adoration of the Magi, 1480s. Creator: Geertgen tot Sint Jans (Netherlandish, c
The Adoration of the Magi, 1480s. Little is known about the life and career of Sint Jans. He seems to have been born in Haarlem in Holland in the northern Low Countries where he may have been attached to the Knights of Saint John as a lay brother, and likely produced an altarpiece for that order. (His name seems to derive from his affiliation with the Knights of Saint John.) He died young in his late 20s. Between 12 and 16 paintings are attributed to him. The subjects tend to derive from the New Testament. The original context of this painting is not known

The Adoration of the Magi, 1480s
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Geertgen tot Sint Jans, a relatively unknown Netherlandish painter from the 15th century. This masterpiece depicts the biblical scene where the three wise men pay homage to baby Jesus. Little is known about Sint Jans' life and career, but it is believed that he was born in Haarlem, Holland and may have been associated with the Knights of Saint John. His affiliation with this order possibly inspired his name. Unfortunately, his talent was cut short as he tragically passed away in his late twenties. This particular painting is one of only a handful attributed to him and reflects his penchant for New Testament subjects. The original context in which this artwork was displayed remains a mystery. The print captures every intricate detail of Sint Jans' oil on wood painting, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty and historical significance. With vibrant colors and meticulous brushwork, it transports us back to an era when religious art held great importance. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art (not affiliated with any company), this piece serves as a testament to Sint Jans' skillful craftsmanship and enduring legacy within Netherlandish art history. Thanks to Heritage Art/Heritage Images for preserving such treasures for future generations to admire.
