"Aanbidding door de koningen" (Adoration of the Magi) is an engraving by Cornelis Cort from 1567. It depicts the biblical story of the Three Wise Men, also known as the Magi, visiting the baby Jesus and offering him gifts. The scene is framed within a decorative border featuring putti and classical figures. Cort's mastery of engraving is evident in the detailed rendering of the figures, their garments, and the surrounding landscape. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the enduring power of religious themes in art during the Renaissance period.
