"Adoration of the Magi"

The work shows how the three men kneel before the Holy Family. Additionally, it also contains a number of prominent figures of the Florentine society, such as Cosimo de’ Medici, the first of the Medici dynasty, Piero and Giovanni Medici (Cosimo’s sons), as well as Giuliano and Lorenzo (Cosimo’s grandsons). There is also a self-portrait of Botticelli himself, in a yellow robe on the far right-hand corner, staring directly at the observer.
