Adoración de los Reyes Magos
Paolo Veronese·1601
Historical Context
This Adoration of the Magi at the Prado, attributed to Veronese's workshop, demonstrates the continued production of his designs after his death. The Veronese workshop, led by his sons and brother, maintained the master's style for ecclesiastical commissions well into the early 17th century. The Prado's workshop Adoration demonstrates how Veronese's compositional formulas served as templates that his heirs could adapt and reproduce for the continuing demand for altarpieces in churches throughout the Spanish Empire.
Technical Analysis
The composition follows Veronese's established approach to the Epiphany subject with sumptuous costumes and ceremonial arrangement. The palette maintains the workshop's characteristic luminous quality.
