The Adoration of the Magi

Hieronymus Bosch

ca. 1475

The Adoration of the Magi is an oil painting on wood panel by Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch, executed around 1475. It is housed in the Metropolitan Museum, New York, US. A prominent feature of this painting is the strong perspective effect and also the copious use of gold leaf, which is not very typical for Bosch. The pigments employed are red lake, azurite, lead-tin-yellow and ochres.
