Adoration of the Magiby the Master of the Golden Altar
c. 1425
Painting on wood panel, 68 × 52 cm
Lower Saxony State Museum, Hanover
This manger of dubious architecture is home to a bizaare scene. Joesph, peaking out from behind the left side green curtain, looks out at the three kings presenting their gifts to baby Jesus.
Jesus, he of the Ken doll crotch, fondles the beard of the King in red.
There's even room for an ox and ass in the upper right.
