Adoration of the Magi 1482

Sandro Botticelli's "Adoration of the Magi", painted in 1482, depicts the biblical event of the Three Wise Men worshipping the newborn Christ. The scene is set within a ruined classical structure, highlighting the transition from the ancient world to the Christian era. The composition is balanced with a central group of figures, including the Virgin Mary, the baby Jesus, and the Magi, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. The vibrant colors and delicate lines are characteristic of Botticelli's style, known as Early Renaissance Florentine painting.
