Adoration of the Magi 1507

Jan Joest's "Adoration of the Magi" from 1507, depicts the biblical scene of the three wise men kneeling before the baby Jesus. The painting captures the moment of reverence and awe as the kings present their gifts. The scene is set in a landscape with a ruined building in the background, highlighting the contrast between the humble birth of Jesus and the grandeur of the wise men. The work is a prime example of the Northern Renaissance, featuring a detailed and realistic style, with meticulous attention to detail in the figures' attire and the surrounding environment.
