Wise Men at the Court of Herod, circa 1800. This painting is notable because 9,999 of 10,000 paintings of the wise men show them following the star or presenting their gifts to baby Jesus. This is the only painting the wizard and I have ever seen that shows them at the court of Herod where they ask, “Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.” – opening lines of Matthew chap. 2
