Gerard David's presentation of The Adoration is one of his finest works of art, the skill and detail is unparallel in Northern Renaissance art. Here the Christ Child sits on his mother's lap within the ruins of a castle, before a townscape. The Magi proceed to pay homage, as the crowd of onlookers peer in at the right.
