NATIVITY,ADORATION OF MAGI by BOSCH Christmas Throw Pillow

Digital elaboration by Bulgan Lumini , Unlike Bosch’s familiar hallucinatory depictions of hell, this tranquil scene, with its tunneling perspective and rather wooden figure types with sensitively rendered faces, is characteristic of the artist’s earliest works. The stagelike setting, with a curtain held aloft by angels, may indicate the influence of religious plays performed in Bosch’s hometown of ’s Hertogenbosch. By the late fifteenth century, the three Magi were clearly differentiated to represent their varied regional origins. The Black king is prominently featured and elaborately attired, with a crowned, feathered fez and gold collar and belt with hanging Turkish falchion and jeweled hand shield.
