Getting started with the collection:
The Adoration of the Magi
circle of Lucas van Leyden, 1513 - 1517
Virtually all of the woodcuts after a design by Lucas were not carved by him, but by professional woodcutters. This is also the case here. The print lacks the artist’s refined lineation, but does evidence his characteristic folds and figure types. Moreover, the endearing rendering is infused with his distinctive sense of humour and tenderness.
