Adoration of the Kings, after van Loon is a 1772 oil by Jeremiah Meyer, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting depicts a scene with multiple figures, including a woman holding a baby, a man in a blue robe, and a man in a red robe. The figures are gathered around the woman and baby, with some of them looking on in reverence. The scene is set against a dark background, with some trees visible in the distance. In the foreground, a man is shown kneeling, holding a bowl and a cloth. He appears to be washing the baby's feet, while the woman looks on. The man in the blue robe is standing behind the woman, looking down at the scene. The painting features a range of colors, including blues, reds, and yellows. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured look. Next, explore the work of artist Jeremiah Meyer.
