About the piece
Painted around 1640 by Matthias Stom, this work exemplifies the Caravaggisti style with its intense chiaroscuro. The scene captures the reverent moment when the three kings encounter the Christ child, with the light emanating from the infant illuminating the surrounding faces in a dark, atmospheric setting.
