Evangelio iluminado: Folio 8r, La Adoración de los Magos

late 14th–early 15th century
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 344
Creado en un centro monástico de la región del lago Tana en Etiopía, este evangelio iluminado es una de las pocas obras devocionales etíopes anteriores al siglo XVI que han llegado a nuestros días. El texto y las imágenes se inspiran en prototipos bizantinos y coptos, traducidos al etíope clásico y reinterpretados en el estilo pictórico local durante el siglo VI. Los Evangelios espléndidamente decorados, donados por benefactores regios, eran las posesiones más preciadas de los monasterios. En esta estilizada escena de la adoración de los Reyes Magos, las dinámicas imágenes figurativas se combinan con diseños abstractos complejos que describen los ropajes y el escenario en el que se desarrolla la narración.
