This large and spectacular Venetian canvas from the late 16th century depicts, with remarkable scenic effect, one of the most joyful and fascinating episodes of Christianity.
In fact, the arrival of the Magi, attractive and mysterious oriental figures, is the event that beautifully closes the festivities preceding the birth of Jesus.
The magic star guides their path to the hut where the Divine Child has just been born, and the three Kings who arrived from the East bring the most regal gifts to the King of Kings, the son of God.
It is the great feast of the Epiphany, perfectly described here with strongly fairytale tones, typical of late 16th-century Venetian Art with pleasant references to Flemish painting, and to the Greek-Cretan culture of Byzantine origin.
The author is a valid Master from the circle of the "Bassano", a famous family of Venetian painters specialized in the serial production of large works on canvas with these characteristics.
The considerable dimensions, the charm of all the protagonists, the magnificent colors and the accentuated luminosity of the characters are the characteristics that contribute to the excellent success of the composition, while the splendid and important golden frame completes the work by illuminating the scene with a great effect.
The conditions of the canvas are very good considering the era and the pictorial layer is very healthy and perfectly fixed on the entire surface.
It is a splendid work that offers a remarkable eye-catcher and a very positive message.
The proposed price is extremely convenient for a painting of this importance.
A certificate of authenticity will be issued according to law with a detailed descriptive sheet of the work.
