"Procession of the Oldest King (detail 2) 1459-60" is a distinguished fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Benozzo di Lese di Sandro Gozzoli, commonly known as Benozzo Gozzoli. This artwork forms part of a larger cycle of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Magi Chapel in the Palazzo Medici Riccardi in Florence, Italy. Commissioned by the influential Medici family, these frescoes were created between 1459 and 1460 and are celebrated for their intricate detail, vibrant colors, and the rich narrative they convey.

The frescoes depict the journey of the Magi to Bethlehem, a popular subject in Christian art that symbolizes the recognition of Christ by the Gentiles. "Procession of the Oldest King (detail 2)" specifically focuses on the figure of the oldest of the three Magi, traditionally identified as Melchior. This detail showcases the king adorned in opulent garments, riding a richly decorated horse, and accompanied by a retinue of attendants and exotic animals. The scene is set against a lush, hilly landscape, filled with a variety of flora and fauna, which exemplifies Gozzoli's mastery in creating a sense of depth and naturalism.

Gozzoli's frescoes are notable for their incorporation of contemporary figures and settings, blending sacred themes with the secular world of 15th-century Florence. Members of the Medici family, including Cosimo de' Medici and his grandson Lorenzo the Magnificent, are believed to be portrayed among the procession, reflecting the family's power and influence. The inclusion of these portraits serves not only as a testament to the Medici's patronage but also as a visual assertion of their political and social status.

The "Procession of the Oldest King" is a prime example of Gozzoli's ability to merge narrative storytelling with detailed observation of the natural world and human character. His use of bright, jewel-like colors and meticulous attention to detail contribute to the fresco's enduring appeal and its significance in the history of Renaissance art.
