The Adoration of the Magi is a miniature that is part of the Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry an illuminated manuscript commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, and created by the Limbourg brothers, with Pol being one of the leading artists. Offered as an example of the Limbourg' detailed and vibrant artistry, this miniature presents the Christian episode of the three Magi, or Wise Men, visiting the baby Jesus shortly after his birth.

Executed using egg tempera and gold leaf on vum, the Adoration of the Magi showcases a wealth of architectural, figural, and sartorial detail that is a testament to the artistic richness of the Gothic International Style during the late Middle Ages. The right part of the diptych-style image portrays the Virgin Mary cradling the baby Jesus, flanked by the three Magi bearing their iconic gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The left section shows three figures, possibly representing shepherds, witnessing this event from a distance, while the central figure peers into a book, perhaps signifying the Magi's astrological knowledge. Both scenes are nested within an elaborate architectural framework suggestive of a Gothic cathedral interior, lending further richness and depth to the composition.

While there is limited information on the individual artists' contributions within the Limbourg brothers' collective working practice, the Adoration of the Magi's exquisite detail, vibrant palette, and complex composition accord with what art historians attribute to Pol's masterful hand. This particular tableau illustrates not only the religious devotion and theology of its patron but also offers an intriguing look into the period's aesthetic sensibility and artistic practices.

The Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, including the Adoration of the Magi miniature, is held in the collection of the Musée Condé, Chantilly, France, contributing to the rich body of surviving examples of illuminated manuscripts from the period.
