Adoration of the Magi is a 1530s oil on panel painting by the Italian renaissance artist Benvenuto Tisi in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.[1]
Mary sits with her child in front of ruined columns receiving gifts in a fantasy landscape.[1] On the right a man points to the Star of Bethlehem.
This painting has been considered a highlight of the collection since it was acquired in 1823 by William I of the Netherlands from the estate of Edmund Bourke in Paris and given to the Trippenhuis museum. It has been included in all Highlights of the Rijksmuseum catalogs since.[2]
