"Adoration of the Magi" is a Baroque painting by Flemish artist Hendrik van Balen, created in the early 17th century. The artwork depicts the biblical scene of the Magi, or Three Wise Men, visiting the infant Jesus Christ shortly after his birth to present their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. This theme has been a popular subject in Christian art, symbolizing the recognition of Jesus as King by the Gentiles.

Hendrik van Balen (1575–1632) was a notable painter from Antwerp who specialized in mythological and religious subjects, often with a focus on intricate detail and the use of rich colors. His works are characterized by their small scale and the influence of his contemporaries, such as Peter Paul Rubens and Jan Brueghel the Elder, with whom he frequently collaborated.

In "Adoration of the Magi," van Balen's composition typically features the Holy Family at the center, with the Virgin Mary presenting the Christ Child to the Magi. The figures are often elegantly dressed, reflecting contemporary fashions rather than historical accuracy, and the scene is usually set against a landscape or architectural backdrop that showcases van Balen's skill in rendering detail.

The painting is significant for its artistry and as an example of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on the visual arts to convey religious themes. Van Balen's treatment of the subject matter reflects the cultural and religious context of the time, where such works were commissioned to inspire devotion and adherence to the Catholic faith.

"Adoration of the Magi" by Hendrik van Balen remains an important work for its historical context, its representation of Baroque aesthetics, and its place within the oeuvre of a master of Flemish painting. The exact location of the painting and its provenance may vary, as with many Old Master works, and would be detailed in subsequent sections of the article.
