Christmas 2008

Here's to wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!

Ricci, The Adoration of the Magi

The painting is Sebastiano Ricci's, The Adoration of the Magi, 1726. The background on the work is here.

Ricci was one of the great Venetian artists of the late Baroque school.
His Wikipedia entry indicates he had a rough personal life, although his influence on the development of Baroque painting and Rococo design was apparently substantial.
