The Adoration of the Magi by Fra Angelico and Fra Filippo Lippi is a tempera on panel painting dated to circa 1440–1460. The work represents the biblical scene of the Magi visiting the infant Christ, a subject frequently commissioned for altarpieces and private devotion in fifteenth-century Florence. Both artists were leading figures of the early Renaissance, and this collaboration falls within a period when they were active in major religious commissions, blending their distinct approaches to figure and landscape. The composition is circular, with the Virgin Mary and Christ Child positioned at the right foreground beneath a rustic shelter, accompanied by Joseph and surrounded by the three Magi, who kneel in reverence.

The scene is crowded with attendants and onlookers, extending into a detailed background of architectural ruins and a distant procession. The palette features luminous blues, reds, and golds, and the technique displays fine linear detail and delicate handling of light, especially in the rendering of garments and faces. Notable details include the peacock perched on the stable roof, symbolizing immortality, and the ox and donkey inside the shelter, traditional elements in Nativity imagery. This painting is part of a documented tradition of Florentine tondi depicting the Adoration, a subject that allowed artists to demonstrate narrative complexity and technical skill.

The work is held in a public collection and is accessible at high resolution through the Google Cultural Institute. Its date places it within the mature phase of both artists’ careers, reflecting the collaborative practices of large Renaissance workshops and the devotional tastes of the period.
