Artwork: The Adoration of the Magi
Description: The Adoration of the Magi is a popular subject in Christian art, and this work by Martin Schongauer is a particularly fine example. The painting depicts the moment when the three wise men from the East arrive at the stable in Bethlehem to pay homage to the newborn Jesus. The Virgin Mary is seated on the left, with the infant Jesus in her lap. Joseph stands behind her, and the three wise men are kneeling on the right. The painting is full of rich symbolism, and the artist has used a variety of techniques to create a sense of depth and realism.
