What specifically does the curator team of the Art Institute Chicago write about this 16th century work of art from the painter Antwerp Mannerist? (© Copyright - by Art Institute Chicago - Art Institute Chicago)

These two scenes are particularly fine examples of the decorative style practiced in Antwerp by a group of largely anonymous artists now dubbed Antwerp Mannerists. The paintings orignally formed the interior of the wings of a folding triptych with the Adoration of the Magi as its center. Both show gifts being presented to a ruler on his throne and would have been understood as Old Testament prefigurations of the submission of the nations to Christ as king, the theme of the lost Adoration panel. They also provided an excuse for the artist to depict exotic costumes, architecture, and luxury goods - the hallmarks of the Antwerp Mannerist style.
