The Adoration of the Magi is a painting by the Italian painter Gentile da Fabriano. The work, housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, is considered his finest work, and has been described as "the culminating work of International Gothic painting".[1]
The artwork was commissioned by the famous banker Palla Strozzi and incorporates many notable elements.[2] The choice of materials including the vibrant colors, gold leaf, and silver used in the painting creates a brilliant and attractive effect.[3] Techniques such as lighting, depth, and three-dimensionality are prevalent in the work and were novel for the time.[4] The frame, along with the painting, is a work of art in itself, specifically because of the intricate, Gothic, and ornamental architectural designs incorporated into it.[5] Other elements of the altarpiece draw upon European conceptions, beliefs and imagery about the Orient. Exotic animals such as monkeys, horses, camels, and lions signify the patron's wealth and status, as well as creating an exotic setting relating to the biblical scene of the painting.[3] Arabic imitation script is evident in the artwork, elevating the work's significance in regards to its luxury and exoticism.[3][6] The clothing worn by the three magi display influences from Orient's luxury textiles with elements such as gold and floral designs that distinguish the three magi and their oriental roots.[3][6]
