Gentile da Fabriano's "Adoration of the Magi" (1423) is a monumental altarpiece now in the Uffizi Gallery. The artist's International Gothic style is evident in the sumptuous use of gold and intricate details, portraying the biblical scene of the Magi's visit to the Christ child. The work is renowned for its vibrant colors, luxurious textiles, and impressive, nearly life-size figures, which highlight the grandeur of the event and the opulence of the courtly world.
