Journey of the Three Magi to Bethlehem
by BRAMER, Leonaert, Oil on panel, 79 x 107 cm
This panel is one of the hundreds of night scenes which Bramer, one of the most successful artists in Delft, produced. The Magi, led by torch-bearing angels, have evidently just arrived at their destination, or are close enough to dismount. Considering that Bramer painted a considerable amount of pendant pictures, it has been suggested that the manger was depicted in a pendant panel representing the Adoration of the Shepherds.
