| Title: | Adoration of the Magi, detail |
|---|
| Notes: | ...The caricature-like features of the Magi (not seen in this detail) and their retinue reveal Massys's interest in the extreme physiognomic types popularized by Leonardo da Vinci and made available to Northern artists through prints. It was this interest in the psychology of physiognomy that made Massys such a gifted portraitist. [from Met gallery notes.] |
