The Adoration of the Magi. Artist: Justus of Ghent (Joos van Wassenhove) (Netherlandish, active by 1460-died ca. 1480). Dimensions: 43 x 63 in. (109.2 x 160 cm). Date: ca. 1465.This Adoration (or Epiphany) is one of only two surviving works Justus of Ghent painted before going to Italy in 1469 to work for Federico da Montefeltro, duke of Urbino. Its composition may owe a debt to contemporary plays. Possibly commissioned for a convent near Burgos, Spain, the picture is painted on canvas and could thus be rolled for easy transport. The subdued tonality and matte surface are due to the gouachelike medium. An African magus (king) appears in Adorations beginning in the fifteenth century. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
