Adoration of the Kings

This work is a youthful masterpiece by Alessandro Turchi. The partly concealed figure who looks out at the observer from behind the group of kneeling Magi is almost surely a self-portrait. Turchi was a pupil of Felice Brusasorzi and perhaps of Jacopo Palma as well. The chromatic freshness, based primarily on brilliant, contrasting tones of red, is especially striking.
