how the Three Wise Men played a major role in the visual arts of the European culture.
By the time Jan 6 rolls around in America, the holidays seem firmly in the rear-view mirror. But in Italy, the holiday of the Epiphany is the culmination the Christmas season - the day of gifts, special treats, and children's traditions.
The Three Kings brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, true, but their greatest gift was a justification for Christian art, a gift that has kept on giving for centuries. Learn the amazing history of how three wise men ignited imagery on Jan 6, 2020 - a special Epiphany gift from Masters’ gallery Rome to you
