MODERSOHN-BECKER, Paula: Adoration of the Magi

🖼 Adoration of the Magi, 1907
Bremen, Germany

Rendered in warm earth tones, three kings kneel before mother and child in simplified forms, their gifts offered with devotion. This 1907 work pioneered modern religious imagery through bold abstraction, rejecting academic tradition to convey spiritual intimacy.
