Painting by Hans Memling
The Adoration of the Magi is an oil on panel triptych by Hans Memling , painted in 1479–1480, though Max Jakob Friedländer places it in 1470.[2] [3] It is now in the Prado Museum in Madrid, which acquired it in 1847. It is also known as the Prado Triptych .
Its central panel measures 147.5 cm by 96 cm. The central scene shows the Adoration of the Magi , flanked by panels of the Nativity and the Presentation of Christ in the Temple . Its choice and treatment of themes links it to the c. 1455 Saint Columba Altarpiece , the 1479 Jan Floreins Altarpiece and the c.1462 Hulin de Loo Altarpiece .[4]
