This 15th-century woodcut, titled "Adoration of the Magi," depicts the biblical story of the three wise men offering gifts to the newborn Jesus. The artist, who remains anonymous, uses strong lines and cross-hatching to create a sense of depth and detail. The scene is set within a humble stable, emphasizing the contrast between the divine nature of the child and the earthly setting. This artwork is a striking example of early printmaking and its ability to convey religious narratives with expressive power.
