Roundel with the Adoration of the Magi 1500

This roundel, created by the influential Early Netherlandish painter Hans Memling, depicts the Adoration of the Magi. The scene is set in a humble stable, with Mary and the Christ child at the center, surrounded by the three Magi. The meticulously detailed figures and the use of rich colors are characteristic of Memling's style, which helped to define the artistic traditions of the region. The piece, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of the devotional art popular in the 15th century, a time when religious themes were prevalent in artistic creations.
