Panel with the Adoration of the Magi c. 1525

Nicola da Urbino's "Panel with the Adoration of the Magi" is a small, vibrant ceramic panel depicting the biblical story of the Three Wise Men worshipping the baby Jesus. Created around 1525, the panel features a rich color palette and detailed figures, with a star-filled night sky above the scene. The work is a beautiful example of the artist's mastery of maiolica, a traditional Italian ceramic technique. Despite his short lifespan, Nicola da Urbino was known for his exquisite enamel work, which influenced later Italian Renaissance artists. This small, intimate panel offers a glimpse into his masterful approach to depicting biblical narratives.
