Adoration of the Kings

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white woodcut image of the Adoration of the Kings by Albrecht Dürer; a scene depicting the biblical Magi visiting and presenting gifts to the newborn Jesus and his mother Mary. A woman with long hair and a halo sits on the left side, holding a baby; three men dressed in royal attire, one with a crown on his head and another on one knee, stand on the right side; people in military dress in the background. A star shines in the sky behind the royal figures. Gifts are on the floor and a man is visible through a shield on the wall.
