The Adoration of the Magi

The Adoration of the Magi is a painting by Frans Francken the Younger, created between 1612 and 1615. It is currently in museum storage. The painting measures 0.896 meters in width and 0.575 meters in height.

The artwork depicts the Adoration of the Magi, a biblical scene showing the three wise men presenting gifts to the baby Jesus. The painting is richly detailed, showing a large group of figures in elaborate clothing. The Virgin Mary sits holding the baby Jesus, surrounded by the Magi, who are dressed in opulent robes and adorned with jewels. Other figures, including a soldier in armor, are present in the background. The scene is set outdoors, with trees and a building visible in the background. The style is characteristic of Flemish Baroque painting, with a focus on detail and rich color.
