The Adoration of the Magi 

François Lemoyne's "The Adoration of the Magi" depicts the biblical event of the three wise men, or magi, presenting gifts to the infant Jesus. This Baroque painting showcases the dramatic use of light and shadow, which was characteristic of Lemoyne's style. The composition is dynamic and energetic, with the figures arranged in a swirling, almost chaotic manner. The vibrant colors and rich textures of the clothing add to the painting's overall grandeur and splendor. The scene is set in a humble stable, which further emphasizes the contrast between the divine and the earthly, making this a popular subject for artists throughout history.
