Sandro Botticelli's "Adoration of the Magi," painted in 1500, depicts the biblical story of the three wise men, or Magi, coming to worship the newborn Jesus. The scene is set within a cave-like structure, emphasizing the humility of the event. The composition is full of figures, with the Magi kneeling before Mary and Joseph, and a crowd of onlookers behind them, including a horse and several camels. The use of warm colors and detailed figures contributes to the overall sense of reverence and awe. The artwork is currently housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.
