dbo:abstract
  • The Adoration of the Magi is a painting by Portuguese artist Domingos Sequeira, dated to 1828. It shows the common subject in the Nativity art of the visit by the Three Kings to the infant Jesus, here given a grand theatrical treatment by including their spectacular and exotic retinues. The Adoration is part of the four-part Palmela Series, bought in 1845 by Pedro de Sousa Holstein, 1st Duke of Palmela from Sequeira's daughter, along with Descent from the Cross, Ascension, and the unfinished Last Judgment. The series has been called, by art critic José-Augusto França, Sequeira's "aesthetic and spiritual testament". It has been in the National Museum of Ancient Art in Lisbon since 2016, when its acquisition was the object of a successful and much-publicised crowdfunding campaign, the first of its kind in the country.
