Adoration of the Magi n.d.

Henri Mauperché's etching "Adoration of the Magi" depicts the biblical scene of the Three Wise Men paying homage to the newborn Jesus. The artist, born in 1602 and died in 1686, places the scene in a grand architectural setting with classical columns and arches, highlighting the importance and grandeur of the event. The figures are depicted with great detail, their expressions and gestures conveying reverence and wonder. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the central figure of Mary and the Christ child drawing the viewer's eye. The print showcases Mauperché's skill in etching and his ability to render architectural details with precision, creating a sense of depth and perspective.
