The "Procession of the Magi" is a renowned fresco series painted by the Italian Renaissance artist Benozzo Gozzoli. Executed between 1459 and 1460, the frescoes adorn the walls of the private chapel in the Palazzo Medici Riccardi in Florence, Italy. This chapel, often referred to as the Chapel of the Magi, was commissioned by Piero di Cosimo de' Medici, the head of the powerful Medici family, who desired to showcase the wealth, power, and cultural sophistication of his lineage.

Benozzo Gozzoli, whose full name was Benozzo di Lese di Sandro, also known as Benozzo Gozzoli, was a pupil of Fra Angelico and an important figure in the Florentine school of painting. In the "Procession of the Magi," Gozzoli's work is characterized by its vivid color, meticulous detail, and the incorporation of contemporary figures into the biblical scene. The frescoes depict the journey of the Three Wise Men, or Magi, as they travel to Bethlehem to pay homage to the infant Jesus. However, Gozzoli transforms this traditional religious subject into a grand parade of the Medici family and their court, effectively blending religious narrative with a celebration of Medici power.

The frescoes are spread across three walls of the chapel, with the "moved section" or "backfill wall" being a particular area of interest. This section of the fresco had to be relocated due to architectural changes in the building, a testament to the dynamic history of the artwork and the structure that houses it. The intricate procession features a cavalcade of horses and figures, including portraits of contemporary Florentine notables and members of the Medici family, such as Cosimo de' Medici, Piero the Gouty, and Lorenzo the Magnificent, who are depicted as participants in the sacred journey.

The "Procession of the Magi" is celebrated for its opulent representation of the Medici's political and cultural dominance, as well as for Gozzoli's masterful integration of landscape, portraiture, and narrative. It remains a significant example of Renaissance art and a testament to the artist's skill in creating a work that is both a devotional piece and a political statement.
