Description |
English: "Wise men from the East," in the Gospel of Matthew's account of Christ's birth, saw a new star and, believing it to be a divine omen, came to honor the one marked for future greatness. Whether extraordinary appearances must be divinely ordained or could be random was a "hot" question in the 1600s. By the Renaissance, the youngest wise man had come to be depicted as an African. Pieter Coecke traveled to Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) in 1533 to work for the Turkish sultan. From this experience, he knew how to depict Near Easterners and Africans accurately. |
