Hieronymus Bosch's *The Adoration of the Magi*, created around 1510, is a triptych painting depicting the biblical story of the three wise men visiting the newborn Jesus. The central panel shows the Magi kneeling before the Christ child, while the side panels feature a variety of landscapes and figures. Known for his fantastical imagery and attention to detail, Bosch's work is often interpreted as a reflection of his religious beliefs and the anxieties of his time. The work, housed at the Museo del Prado in Madrid, exemplifies the Northern Renaissance style, with its meticulous brushwork and intricate symbolism, capturing the imagination of viewers for centuries.
