Hieronymus Bosch's *Adoration of the Magi* (1495) depicts a fantastical landscape teeming with peculiar figures and symbols. The scene, dominated by rolling hills and a distant city, exemplifies the Northern Renaissance artist's signature style: a blend of realism and surrealism. The painting's intricate details, including bizarre creatures, architectural oddities, and hidden narratives, have captivated viewers for centuries, leaving them to interpret the symbolism. The work is currently housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain.
