"Adoration of the Kings".
Oil on copper.
Measurements: 72 x 55 cm; 92 x 75 cm (frame).
This work is part of the Flemish school of the seventeenth century, representing the religious scene of the Adoration of the Kings. This work represents the moment in which the three kings, accompanied by their entourage, present their gifts to the child Jesus, who, in his mother's arms, seems to play with the incense presented to him by Gaspar, kneeling before him. The scene is located outside, with a reference to the manger on the right side, transformed into a classical architecture, defined by a semicircular arch and a column. The clothes of the kings, with embroidered capes of rich color and great richness, like the adornments of precious stones and jewels of Balthazar, show the luxury of this procession. The scene takes place almost in semi-darkness, as we can see the opening to the landscape in the last shot. However, the luminosity is clear and the focus emerges from the figure of the child Jesus, who radiates the light that falls on the rest of the characters. The magnificence of the work can be seen in the multitude of characters. It is a composition full of movement and dynamism, where each of the characters is studied individually and as a whole, showing different postures and planes.
