About the piece

Created in 1616, this impressive oil on panel by Abraham Janssens I is a tour de force of Flemish Baroque painting. The composition centers on the Virgin and Child, surrounded by a dense crowd of figures including the Magi in their opulent, gold-embroidered robes. The work is noted for its masterful interplay of light and shadow, characteristic of the Caravaggesque influence on Northern European art of this period.
