The Adoration of the Magi
by an unknown German Master
1420
Tempera on pine, 100 x 81 cm
Hessisches Landesmuseum, Darmstadt
Are the Magi kissing or smelling the foot of Jesus?
The perspective on this painting is exciting--notice the hut is seen both from an overhead perspective (bird's eye) and an underneath perspective (worm's eye). And look at Joseph in the lower left corner cooking with a tiny pan over a tiny fire.
