Kongernes tilbedelse 1564 - 1700

"Kongernes tilbedelse" (Adoration of the Magi) is a 17th century drawing by an anonymous artist, now housed at SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. The drawing depicts the biblical scene of the three wise men worshipping the newborn Jesus, with a focus on the figure of a kneeling man in the foreground. This drawing is likely a preparatory study for a larger painting, showcasing the artist's use of line and shading to create a sense of depth and volume. The subject matter and composition are typical of religious art of the period, reflecting the widespread popularity of biblical narratives in European art.
