Procession of the Magus Caspar (detail) 1461

This detail of Benozzo Gozzoli's fresco, "Procession of the Magus Caspar", painted in 1461, depicts the elaborate procession of the wise men bringing gifts to the Christ child. The rich colors and detailed rendering of the figures, animals, and landscape are characteristic of Early Renaissance art. Gozzoli's masterful use of perspective and light creates a sense of depth and realism, bringing the scene to life. The inclusion of contemporary figures and details, including the animals, contributes to the artwork's historical significance, offering insight into the culture and society of 15th-century Italy.
