## Commentary

Adoration of the Magi \(detail\) c. 1510 Oil on wood, width of detail 33,6 cm Museo del Prado, Madrid The picture shows a detail of the central panel of the Triptych of the Adoration of the Magi. The host of the third King appears beyond the sand dunes. The gently rolling countryside contains, in addition, an abandoned tavern and a pagan idol. Even the distant grey-blue walls of Jerusalem, one of Bosch&#39;s most evocative renderings of the Holy City, appear vaguely sinister.
