"Adoration of the Magi" approx. 1442
by Giovanni di Paolo (1403-1482)
According to the Gospel of Matthew, three Magi, guided by a star, found
the newborn Christ and laid gifts before him. Artists throughout the
15th century elaborated considerably upon this biblical account,
devoting particular attention to the Magi’s entourage, which gave them
an opportunity to depict the splendor of contemporary aristocratic life.
This masterpiece is on display in the Cleveland Museum of Art *link*
