EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Adoration of the Magi" artwork, created between 1425 and 1475 by an unknown artist. The piece, made from alabaster with polychromy and gilding, is a remarkable example of 15th-century religious art. In this scene, we witness the biblical story of the Three Wise Men presenting gifts to baby Jesus. The central focus is on Mary, the Virgin Mother, cradling her infant son in her arms. She radiates serenity and grace as she gazes upon him with tender love. The three kings stand before them in awe-struck reverence. Each figure is intricately detailed, showcasing their distinct personalities and attire representing different countries they hail from: Britain, England, and beyond. They offer precious gifts symbolizing their recognition of Jesus' divine nature - gold for his kingship, frankincense for his deity, and myrrh as a foreshadowing of his death. Surrounding this holy family are other figures - men and women who have come to witness this miraculous event unfold before their eyes. Their expressions range from curiosity to adoration as they too recognize the significance of this momentous occasion. This artwork not only captures a pivotal moment in Christian history but also serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during that era. Its presence within the Art Institute Chicago allows visitors to appreciate its beauty firsthand while immersing themselves in centuries-old heritage art.
