MWW Artwork of the Day (12/27/25) Leonardo da Vinci (Florentine, 1452-1519) Adoration of the Magi (c. 1481-82) Oil on panel, 246 x 243 cm. Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence

Even though the panel remained unfinished, the "Adoration of the Magi," with its symmetrically composed main group which differs from the traditional linear composition, is now considered one of the most progressive works in Florentine painting. All the figures are involved in the events in the picture. The distinguished kings display their emotions in a more dignified manner than the accompanying figures around them, and the overall number of participants is kept within moderation. The figures are grouped in a circle around Mary and are expressing, with more or less vigorous gestures, their emotion at the first demonstration of divinity of the Christ Child.
