Adoration of the Magi, In this image, the Adoration of the Magi is seen. Here, the magi approach Christ with their extensive entourages. The Magi bring gifts to Christ, who sits in the center of the scene, on Mary's lap. In the sky, angels hover, holding trumpets with banners. God the Father watches from the center of the sky, and the dove of the Holy Spirit hovers over Mary and the Christ Child. The stable is behind Mary and Christ, framing them and providing shelter for the donkeys who look out from inside. Shepherds and their flocks can be seen in the distant hills, as can the city walls of Jerusalem. Winding up the paths into the hills is the entourage of the Magi., 1440-1450, Photographed in after 1907
