About the piece
Created around 1630 by Matthias Stom, this painting is a quintessential example of tenebrism, a style characterized by intense chiaroscuro. The composition captures the reverent moment the Magi present their offerings, with the warm glow of an unseen light source highlighting the intricate details of their garments and the soft features of the Holy Family.
