Description
▾Flemish School, 17th century
Adoration of the Magi
Oil on canvas
Unsigned. 19 ¾ x 25 ½ inches (50 x 65 cm), the frame 24 x 30 inches (61 x 76 cm). Plain gilt frame. Relined, structurally sound, with small paint losses.
The Child reaches into the open box the kneeling king holds up to him. That king kneels with his back half turned to us, in a great yellow cloak that spreads across the lower center of the canvas. The Virgin sits at the left in red and blue, with Joseph behind her in yellow and violet.
Behind them the crowd presses in. A dark-skinned king in green carries a gold covered cup at the center, beside a king in red and ermine with a gold chain across his chest, and around them a dozen heads crowd together under turbans, plumes, soft red caps and a laurel wreath. The architecture is barely there. Two dark piers open onto a gray sky with a single small star, and the color is carried by three cloaks, yellow, red and green, against a ground that has gone almost black.

Note By the seventeenth century the three kings had been given three ages and three continents, one young, one middle-aged, one old, one European, one Asian, one African. The subject let a painter show the entire known world kneeling in one room. It is why the crowd behind them wears turbans, plumes and fur in the same picture, and why the costume belongs to no single country. |
