The Adoration of the Magi is a 1619 Baroque painting by the Spanish artist Diego Velázquez now held in the Museo del Prado. It shows two white kings and one black king presenting gifts to the Christ child. The child in the painting, however, is not Jesus Christ but Velasquez's own daughter. The woman holding the child, represented as the Virgin Mary, is the artist's wife and the three Magi stand in for the males within the immediate family, including himself.
