The Adoration of the Magi is an oil painting on wood panel by Netherlandish artist Hieronymus Bosch, executed around 1475. It is housed in the Metropolitan Museum, New York, US. A prominent feature of this painting is the strong perspective effect[1] and also the copious use of gold leaf, which is not very typical for Bosch.[2] The pigments employed are red lake, azurite, lead-tin-yellow and ochres.[3]
The precise authorship of this panel is and has been disputed, but in 2016 the Bosch Research and Conservation Project attributed it to Bosch based on evidence in the underdrawing.
