Adoration of the Magi

Juan B. Celma introduced Mannerism into the cathedral, demonstrating his knowledge of Italian painting in a commission for five panels. These works were to be placed in the apse area, closing off the Main Chapel towards the ambulatory. This is the only one of the five panels that has survived, representing a fragment of The Resurrection on one side and The Adoration of the Magi on the other.

Specifically in this scene of The Adoration of the Magi, it is possible to observe the deterioration of the piece, especially in the clothes of the Kings, who are situated in front of the Virgin with the child on their laps, framed by a classical architectural structure.
