Adoration des Mages

possibly ca. 1320
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 601
Giotto fut acclamé de son vivant comme un génie des arts visuels en Italie, un titre qui ne lui a pratiquement jamais été contesté depuis. Son art est empreint d’un raffinement intellectuel rarement associé à la peinture. Ce panneau, qui représente la manifestation du Christ enfant aux Mages, appartient à une série de scènes de la vie du Christ, dont six autres sont connues. Il est remarquable par la minutie du décor et des personnages aux mouvements merveilleusement naturels comme celui du roi qui soulève l’enfant de la mangeoire sous le regard inquiet de la Vierge.
