The Adoration of the Kings 1498 - 1501

This small-scale oil painting, titled "The Adoration of the Kings" and created by Hugo van der Goes’ workshop between 1498 and 1501, depicts the traditional Christian scene of the three wise men or kings presenting gifts to the newborn Jesus. The painting, now in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is characterized by its detailed and realistic portrayal of the figures, their garments, and the rich furnishings in the background, which are typical of the Northern Renaissance style.
