Albrecht Altdorfer's "The Adoration of the Magi," a woodcut from his series *The Fall and Redemption of Man* (1513), depicts the biblical event of the three wise men worshipping the baby Jesus. The scene is set under a complex network of beams and rafters, creating a sense of both grandeur and intimacy. The figures are rendered with meticulous detail, highlighting the solemnity of the moment and the reverence of the Magi. This work is a masterful example of Altdorfer's skill in woodcut, known for its sharp lines and rich tonal contrasts. It showcases his ability to portray both the divine and the human in a compelling and evocative manner, epitomizing the style of the German Renaissance.
