Description : Adorazione dei Magi

Oil painting on canvas. Venetian school of the seventeenth-eighteenth century. The evangelical scene shows on the left the Holy Family, humble in simple clothes and placed in a bare and almost dark room, while the whole right half is occupied by the figures of the Magi, richly dressed and with their exotic and sumptuous retinue of servants and camels ; the figure of the Child Jesus joins the two so different fields who, in his mother's arms and surrounded by divine light, stretches out his hand to accept the rich gift of one of the Magi, kneeling before him. The red color dominates the whole scene, in different shades, which connotes the clothes of the characters, both the tunics of Joseph and Mary, as well as the mantles of the rich kings, indicating the human and mortal nature that unites them. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a gilded frame from the early 1900s (with modifications).
