Focus on Adoration of the Magi with Saint Helena and explore the Description and style.
The canvas depicts the classic characters of the Adoration of the Magi, with Saint Joseph placed on the left of the canvas next to the Virgin and Child, and on the right the three Magi, one of them black and another an older man, accompanied by several soldiers and courtiers, who make up a procession winding through what appears to be a valley. In the distance a shepherd grazes his flock of sheep, while on the mountain on the opposite side is a castle, with blue mountains in the distance. A dilapidated classical building occupies the left-hand side of the composition.The uneven quality of the work suggests that it was completed by assistants, perhaps by Giovanni Cariani.
