Evangelho iluminado: Fólio 8r, A Adoração dos Magos

late 14th–early 15th century
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 344
Criado em um centro monástico da região do lago Tana na Etiópia, este Evangelho iluminado é um dos poucos trabalhos devocionais etíopes anteriores ao século XVI que chegaram até nossos dias. O texto e as imagens se inspiram em protótipos bizantinos e cópticos traduzidos para o etíope clássico e reinterpretados no estilo pictórico local durante o século VI. Presentes de benfeitores reais, os Evangelhos ricamente decorados eram as possessões mais apreciadas dos monastérios. Nesta cena estilizada da Adoração dos Magos, as imagens dinâmicas figurativas combinavam-se com desenhos abstratos complexos que descrevem os vestuários e o cenário em que se realiza a narração.
