The Wise Men present their gifts to the Christ-child
The story
The three wise men kneel to present their gifts to the baby Jesus, who sits on Mary's lap. Painted around 1500 in the northern Netherlands, the scene mixes detailed late-medieval costume with a new sense of weight and volume coming up from Italy.
