The Adoration of the Magi/Gentile da Fabriano/from Wikipedia
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".
The artwork was commissioned by the famous banker Palla Strozzi and incorporates many notable elements.The choice of materials including the vibrant colours, gold leaf, and silver used in the painting creates a brilliant and attractive effect.Techniques such as lighting, depth, and three-dimensionality are prevalent in the work and were novel for the time.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.
