EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating detail from Joan Reixach's 15th-century Altarpiece of the Epiphany, housed in the Augustinian convent of Rubielos de Mora in Teruel, Aragon, Spain, showcases the reverence and awe of the three Magi as they adore the newborn Jesus. The golden aura surrounding the Holy Family creates an ethereal atmosphere, with the Virgin Mary tenderly holding her son, while St. Joseph looks on with pride. The animals present, including a sheep and a donkey, symbolize the humble origins of Christ. The Magi, dressed in rich robes and bearing exotic gifts, are depicted with expressions of wonder and respect. One Magus plays the musette, a type of bagpipe, while another plays the pipes, adding a musical element to the scene. The Magi's aureoles, or halos, and the halos of the Holy Family, are adorned with intricate designs, further emphasizing their divine status. This masterpiece, created by Joan Reixach between 1430 and 1484 during the Gothic period in Europe, is a testament to the artistic and cultural richness of medieval Spain. The Altarpiece of the Epiphany is now a cherished treasure in the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
