Carved And Polychrome Wooden Panel – Scene Of The Adoration Of The Magi, Signed “a.q.”

Carved and polychrome wooden panel – scene of the Adoration of the Magi, signed “A.Q.”

A refined, generously sized high relief in carved and painted wood, depicting the traditional scene of the Adoration of the Magi, with the Virgin Mary seated in the center holding the Baby Jesus in her lap, surrounded by the Three Wise Men offering their gifts.

The composition stands out for its narrative richness, with numerous figures and architectural details in the background, which lend depth and liveliness to the scene.

The polychromy, with warm tones that remain clearly visible, highlights the quality of the work’s execution, while the gilding accentuates its devotional and decorative character.

The work bears the initials “A.Q.” at the top, likely referring to the artist or the workshop where it was produced.
