The Adoration of the Magi
techniek: Oil on Oak, 71.1 x 56.5 cm
This panel, which, like the triptych of the same name in Madrid (Cat. 9), has the Adoration of Magi as its subject, is the only surviving work by Bosch to make extensive use of gilding. The technique was used here to give the wise men’s gifts a royal allure. The differences in quality across the painting suggest that it is the work of a young, developing artist. It is also possible that Bosch received help from a studio hand who may not yet have been a fully fledged painter. |  |
