# Adoration of the Magi [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [VERONESE, Paolo]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Oil on copper, 45 x 35 cm ## Commentary Adoration of the Magi 1570s Oil on copper, 45 x 35 cm The Hermitage, St. Petersburg Sumptuous fabrics, Eastern costumes, outlandish animals - all the typical attributes of medieval and Renaissance compositions of the Adoration of the Magi - were known to Veronese not just from his predecessors' works. Venice in its golden age was Europe's richest commercial port and abounded in exotica. In Veronese's painting, its joyous motley was reflected more brightly than in the works of his great contemporaries, Titian, Tintoretto and the rest: it passed directly into his palette. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Shepherds]() - [Adoration of the Shepherds]() - [Adoration of the Shepherds]() - [Adoration of the Shepherds]() - [Aged Oriental with a Young Woman]() - [Allegory of Love, I: Infidelity]() - [Allegory of Love, III: Respect]() - [Allegory of Love, IV: Happy Union]() - [Allegory of Wisdom and Strength]() - [Annunciation]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
