Painted in a glue-based medium on canvas, this Adoration of the Magi is by an artist active both in the Netherlands (Ghent) and in Italy (Urbino). Justus shows the youngest king as a black African to indicate that the magi came from the three corners of the world. A black African servant hands him his gift and there is another black African observer in the crowd. Such individuals were increasingly present at the courts of western Europe, but the strikingly similar appearance of these three poses the question of whether they derive from a single model or, instead, were based an idealized type.
