Adoration of the Magi (Garofalo)

Adoration of the Magi is a 1530s oil on panel painting by the Italian renaissance artist Benvenuto Tisi in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.

[1] Mary sits with her child in front of ruined columns receiving gifts in a fantasy landscape.

[1] On the right a man points to the Star of Bethlehem.

This painting has been considered a highlight of the collection since it was acquired in 1823 by William I of the Netherlands from the estate of Edmund Bourke in Paris and given to the Trippenhuis museum.

It has been included in all Highlights of the Rijksmuseum catalogs since.

This painting can be seen hanging in a 19th-century sketch of the gallery of the Trippenhuis before the collection was moved to its present location in 1885
