EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sandro Botticelli's masterpiece, "The Adoration of the Magi" painted in 1475. The painting, rendered with tempera on wood, is a stunning representation of the biblical scene where the three wise men pay homage to baby Jesus. However, what makes this artwork truly remarkable is its inclusion of prominent members from the powerful Medici family. In this composition, we see Cosimo de Medici, known as Cosimo the Old Medicis, kneeling before the Virgin Mary as one of the magi. Piero de Medici and Giovanni de Medici also join him as kings bearing gifts for Christ. On one side stands Laurent de Medicis or Laurent the Magnificent with a sword between his legs while Giuliano de Medici appears in black on the other side. Not only does Botticelli include these influential figures but he also incorporates Angelo Ambrogini (Agnolo Poliziano) and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola on one side. Additionally, Guasparre di Zanobi del Lama gazes at us from within this richly detailed tableau. Interestingly enough, nestled among these significant personalities is a self-portrait of Botticelli himself at the bottom right corner—a subtle nod to his own presence within this grand narrative. With its intricate details and symbolic significance, "The Adoration of the Magi" by Botticelli continues to captivate viewers centuries later. This print allows us to appreciate every brushstroke and immerse ourselves in both religious devotion and historical context alike.
