The Adoration of the Magi Date: 1503/13. Artist: Unknown artist Italian, 15th-16th centuries

The Gospel of Matthew records how three wise men or Magi came from the East to present gold, frankincense and myrrh to the infant Christ, guided by a miraculous star. Later traditions transformed them into the Three Kings shown here.

The Magi, three eastern kings, traveled to Bethlehem to honor the infant Christ with gifts. The story was often interpreted during the Renaissance as earthly governments (the Magi) recognizing the authority of the Church (Jesus). The artist, whose name is unknown, probably worked in Cologne, Germany, in the mid-1400s.

It shows the Virgin Mary with the infant Jesus, Joseph, and the three Wise Men carrying their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. The stylistic features of this relief are in the sculptural style found in altarpieces in Lower Bavaria.
