1504, Albrecht Durer, Adoration of the Magi -- Uffizi Gallery (Florence)
From the museum label: The painting was probably commissioned by the Elector of Saxony, Frederic the Wise (1486-1525), for the Chapel at the Wittemberg castle. Completed by Dürer after his first visit to Italy (1494-1495), the panel exemplifies the fusion of Northern attention to the detail, a typical Italian perspective, and a color sense influenced by the Venetian painting of Mantegna and Giovanni Bellini. It has been in the Uffizi since 1793 following an exchange with the Imperial Gallery of Vienna.
