The Adoration of the Magi
Fra Angelico and Fra Filippo Lippi
c. 1440/1460
The Adoration of the Magi is a tondo, or circular painting, of the Adoration of the Magi assumed to be the work recorded in 1492 in the Palazzo Medici Riccardi in Florence as by Fra Angelico. It dates from the mid-15th century and is now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Most art historians think that Filippo Lippi painted more of the original work, and that it was added to some years after by other artists, as well as including work by assistants in the workshops of both the original masters. It has been known as the Washington Tondo and Cook Tondo after Herbert Cook, and this latter name in particular continues to be used over 50 years after the painting left the Cook collection.
