Jan Breughel I (1568-1625): The Adoration of the Magi
Oil on copper, 26,7 x 35,7 cm
Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Antwerp

Breughel came from a family of painters. He is mainly known as a painter of landscapes and the often exuberant lifestyle of the farmers. Here we find a combination of a Flemish country scene and a Christian Biblical subject, the birth of the son of God in a ramshackle manger.
