Keywords: The Adoration of the Magi - Google Art Project (6799947).jpg The Adoration of the Magi from this Regensburg benedictional introduces the feast of Epiphany on January 6 This holiday commemorates the visit of the three wise men from the East to the newborn Jesus On one side the three Magi stand against a gold ground offering their gifts in containers that may have been meant to allude to the future consecration of wine and bread in the Eucharist Above their heads hovers the star that guided them to Jesus drawn in red on the gold ground On the other side of the central column a large and monumental Virgin seated on a throne welcomes the visitors with a gesture of blessing while holding Jesus on her lap He looks more adult than childlike as he also makes the sign of blessing By using a restrained palette of blue rose green and burnished gold the artist imbued this scene with a calm harmony complementing the monumentality of the balanced composition Through all these choices the artist expressed the majesty of the sacred figures The Ottonian innovation of representing the wise men as kings quickly became the common depiction None 430703 Unknown /collection/the-j-paul-getty-museum/artwork/the-adoration-of-the-magi-unknown/6799947/ Unknown illuminator /collection/the-j-paul-getty-museum/ The J Paul Getty Museum 343005 http //www getty edu/museum 3/12/2012 2 49 56 PM /collection/the-j-paul-getty-museum/artwork/the-adoration-of-the-magi-unknown/6799947/ 1030 about 1030 - 1040 The Magi Adoration of the Magi Christ Child Saint Joseph Mary Joseph Tempera colors gold leaf and ink on parchment 232 6799947 True 1040 3/25/2012 8 28 11 AM lido getty edu-gm-obj3486 http //www getty edu/art/gettyguide/artObjectDetails artobj 3486 http //www getty edu/legal/copyright html Folio 1030 1050 Regensburg Bavaria Germany Creation w160 x h232 cm about 1030 - 1040 False 0 666015625 Part the-adoration-of-the-magi-unknown The Adoration of the Magi a 160 Tempera colors gold leaf and ink on parchment The Magi Adoration of the Magi Christ Child Saint Joseph Mary Joseph http //www getty edu/legal/copyright html special url_id OwE80-ngj03y2A PD-old-100 Google Art Project works by unknown artist Miniatures of the Adoration of the Magi MS LUDWIG VII 1 Getty museum - Benedictional
