Copy after the fresco <i>The Procession of the Kings</i> (wall with the <i>Procession of the Middle King, Balthasar</i>), Benozzo Gozzoli in the Palazzo Medici-Riccardi Chapel, Florence is a 1881 watercolor by Benozzo Gozzoli, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour is a copy of a famous fresco from Florence. It shows Balthasar, one of the Three Kings, riding in a colorful parade. The original was painted by Benozzo Gozzoli in the 1400s, but this version is from 1881. An Austrian artist named Edward Kaiser made the copy. The Arundel Society asked him to do it, but the image was never printed. It was meant to help people learn about old art. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
