EDITORS COMMENTS
The Altarpiece of the Epiphany, a 15th-century masterpiece housed in the Diocesan Museum of Calatayud, Spain, is a captivating testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Aragon province during the Middle Ages. This intricately crafted retable, painted on wood, is a stunning representation of the Adoration of the Magi, an event from the New Testament recounting the visit of the Three Wise Men to the infant Jesus in Bethlehem. The central focus of the painting is the Virgin Mary, seated on a throne, holding the Christ Child on her lap. The Christ Child reaches out to receive the gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh from the Magi, who are depicted on their knees in reverence. The scene is set against a backdrop of a bustling stable, filled with animals and the humble surroundings of the Nativity. The Gothic style of the painting is evident in the intricate details, from the delicate folds of the robes to the expressive faces of the figures. The painting also includes other scenes from the New Testament, such as the Ascension of Christ, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection, all of which are depicted in the upper registers of the altarpiece. The Altarpiece of the Epiphany is a remarkable work of art that transports us back to the medieval world, inviting us to contemplate the profound significance of the Epiphany and the broader themes of the Christian faith. The painting's intricate details, rich symbolism, and historical importance make it a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or religion.
