Quick Facts Adoration of the Magi, Artist ...

Adoration of the Magi is today considered as a brilliant example of Ligurian Baroque, and three documented ancient copies have been identified. Strangely enough, the painting had an utterly inconspicuous existence until 2004, when it was identified as a major work by Castello – it had been passed as a "Dutch painting with Italian influences" since 1949.[1] The Strasbourg museum also owns an Adoration of the Magi by Castello's disciple and assistant Bartolomeo Biscaino; that work had been attributed to Castello until 1959.[3]
