APT, Ulrich the Elder
(b. ca. 1460, Augsburg, d. 1522, Augsburg)

Adoration of the Magi

c. 1510
Oil on panel, 125 x 71 cm
Musée du Louvre, Paris

This painting shows a certain old-fashioned awkwardness in how the figures relate to their space. The landscape is tipped up and the horizon high, while the massive figures seem uncomfortably crowded into a small area.
