EDITORS COMMENTS
Carle van Loo's captivating painting, "Adoration of the Magi," created around 1760, presents a biblical scene from the New Testament that continues to intrigue and inspire viewers. Set against a richly textured and colored background, the image showcases the reverence and awe of the three Magi as they pay homage to the newly born Christ Child, lying on a bed of straw with his mother, the Virgin Mary, and Saint Joseph. The Magi, dressed in regal attire and accompanied by their retinue of servants, animals, and amorini (cupids), approach the holy family with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The infant Jesus, with a serene expression, reaches out to touch the hand of one of the Magi, while the Christ Child Antiphonetes, an angelic figure, looks on approvingly. The painting's intricate details, including the delicate folds of the robes, the lifelike expressions of the figures, and the realistic depiction of the animals, transport the viewer to a bygone era. The painting is a testament to the artistic mastery of Carle van Loo, a prominent French painter of the eighteenth century. This artwork, a cherished piece of European heritage art, has been exhibited in various galleries and museums across the continents, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in America. The "Adoration of the Magi" continues to be a beloved and iconic representation of the reverence and adoration of the biblical characters in the Christian faith.
