EDITORS COMMENTS
The Adoration of the Magi, engraved by Hendrik Goltzius in 1585, captures a moment of profound reverence and awe. In this exquisite print, we witness the arrival of the three wise kings to pay homage to the newborn Jesus. Goltzius' masterful engraving technique brings every intricate detail to life. The scene unfolds within a humble stable, where Mary tenderly cradles baby Jesus while Joseph stands protectively beside them. The radiant Madonna and Child emanate an ethereal glow that illuminates their surroundings. The three kings approach with utmost humility, their regal entourage following closely behind. Kneeling before the divine infant, they offer precious gifts symbolizing his future as Savior: gold representing his royalty, frankincense signifying his divinity, and myrrh foreshadowing his sacrificial death. Camels stand patiently nearby as part of this majestic procession. Above them all shines a brilliant star—a celestial guide leading these wise men from distant lands to witness this miraculous event. Goltzius' engraving beautifully conveys not only the religious significance but also the universal themes of faith and devotion. It invites us to reflect on our own spiritual journey and reminds us that true worship requires humility and surrender. This artwork is a testament to Goltzius' skill as a printmaker and serves as an enduring reminder of the timeless story it depicts.
