TITLE:
Adoration of the Magi (Special Museum Series)
ARTIST: Gentile da Fabriano
SIZE: 19" x 27"
PIECES: 1000
PRICE: $18
MADE BY: Clementoni
DESCRIPTION: This painting was completed in
1423 and currently hangs in the Galleria degli Uffizi
in Florence, Italy. The
painting portrays the path of the three Magi, in
several scenes which starts from the upper left corner (the voyage and the
entrance in Bethlehem) and continue clockwise, until the larger meeting
with the Virgin and the newborn Jesus which occupies the lowest part of
the picture. All the figures wear splendid Renaissance costumes,
brocades richly decorated with true parts in gold and
precious stones inserted in the panel. The typical Gentile's attention for
details is also evident in the exotic animals, such as
a leopard, a dromedary camel, some
apes and a lion, as well as the
magnificent horses and a hound.
