EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Adoration of the Magi" painted by Juan de Flandes, the Elder in the early 16th century. The artwork depicts a significant biblical scene from the New Testament - the moment when three wise men, also known as the Three Kings or Magi, pay homage to baby Jesus and offer him precious gifts. Juan de Flandes masterfully captures this sacred event with his distinctive Netherlandish style infused with Spanish influences. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to each character portrayed in this altarpiece. The Virgin Mary tenderly holds her infant son while gazing at one of the kings who presents gold as a symbol of royalty. Another king humbly offers frankincense, representing divinity, while the third king gracefully gestures towards them all. Amidst this religious narrative, it is noteworthy that Juan de Flandes includes an African figure among these revered individuals. This inclusion challenges traditional depictions and highlights diversity within Christianity during that era. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its rich symbolism and artistic brilliance. Through Juan de Flandes' skillful brushwork, we are transported back to a time when faith and devotion were beautifully expressed through art.
