# The Adoration of the Kings [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [BRUEGEL, Pieter the Elder]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Tempera on canvas, 122 x 168 cm ## Commentary Unlike the other two depictions of the Adoration by Bruegel, this work was painted not on wood but on canvas, and is in poor condition. It is the earliest of the surviving Adorations. Bruegel has surrounded the central event with a large crowd of people, dressed partly in Netherlands dress, partly in oriental fashion. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Kings in the Snow \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Kings in the Snow]() - [Big Fishes Eat Little Fishes]() - [Big Fishes Eat Little Fishes]() - [Children's Games \(detail\)]() - [Children's Games \(detail\)]() - [Children's Games \(detail\)]() - [Children's Games \(detail\)]() - [Children's Games \(detail\)]() - [Children's Games \(detail\)]() - [Children's Games \(detail\)]() - [Children's Games \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
