The Adoration of the Magi (altarpiece; Bartolo di Fredi (Italian, active by 1353–died 1410 Siena); ca. 1390; Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York City, New York state, U...; 1975.1.16; )

Note: Accommodating the vertical composition, the overlapping figures of servants, kings, and horses are densely assembled around the Virgin and Child. The panel, which has been truncated at the top, originally included the procession of the Magi in the upper zone (a fragment of which is preserved in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Dijon). Two headless camels and the legs of two attendants and a dog in the upper left corner offer evidence of the once amplified narrative.
