The Adoration of the Magi, possibly ca. 1320, Tempera on wood, gold ground, 17 3/4 x 17 1/4 in. (45.1 x 43.8 cm), Paintings, Giotto di Bondone (Italian, Florentine, 1266/76–1337), Dating to about 1320, this panel is one of seven showing the life of Christ. Nothing is known of their early history beyond the fact that they were painted for a Franciscan church or convent; however, the masterly depiction of the stable, the carefully articulated space, and the columnar solidity of the figures testify to Giotto’s reputation as the founder of European painting
