About the piece
Painted in 1649, Carlo Dolci's 'The Adoration of the Kings' showcases the artist's signature highly finished style and masterful use of chiaroscuro. The scene is centered on the Virgin and Child, bathed in light from the Bethlehem star above, as they receive the ornate offerings of the Magi. Each figure is rendered with incredible precision, from the shimmering silks of the visitors to the serene expressions of the holy family.
