The Adoration of the Magi, ca. 1465, Distemper on canvas, 43 x 63 in. (109.2 x 160 cm), Paintings, Justus of Ghent (Joos van Wassenhove) (Netherlandish, active by 1460–died ca. 1480), This Adoration is one of only two surviving works painted by Justus of Ghent before he went to Italy in 1469 to work for Federico da Montefeltro, duke of Urbino. The stage-like space and arrangement of the main figures in two parallel diagonal lines suggest that the artist was inspired by contemporary plays, which reenacted the story of the Epiphany
