"The Adoration of the Magi" is a 1619 painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, one of the most important figures of the Spanish Golden Age. This early work, created when Velázquez was just 20 years old, is a religious painting that depicts the Biblical story of the three wise men, or Magi, visiting the newborn Jesus Christ to pay homage and present gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The painting is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain.

In "The Adoration of the Magi," Velázquez employs a naturalistic style that would become a hallmark of his later works. The composition is intimate and focused, with the figures arranged in a close, triangular formation around the infant Jesus, who is cradled in the Virgin Mary's arms. Joseph stands behind them, and the Magi are depicted in various states of reverence. Notably, Velázquez has included a self-portrait in the scene; he is the young man standing at the right edge of the painting, looking out at the viewer.

The work is significant for its portrayal of the human and divine, blending the sacred event with earthly realism. Velázquez's use of chiaroscuro—the contrast of light and shadow—enhances the three-dimensional quality of the figures and adds drama to the scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the rich textures of the fabrics and the expressive faces of the characters, which convey a range of emotions from awe to devotion.

"The Adoration of the Magi" is an example of Velázquez's early religious paintings, created before his appointment to the court of King Philip IV, where he would go on to paint portraits of the royal family and other notable works. This painting reflects both the traditional iconography of the Adoration theme and the innovative approach that Velázquez brought to his subjects, setting the stage for his future contributions to Western art.
