1843. THE ADORATION OF THE MAGI.
Benedetto Bonfigli (Umbrian: 1420-1496).
A characteristic, if unimportant, example of one of the early masters of the Umbrian School. Bonfigli (or Buonfiglio) was a native of Perugia, and his principal work, a series of frescoes, full of quaint costume and fantastic detail, representing the lives of St. Louis of Toulouse and St. Herculanus, is in the Palazzo del Consiglio there.
There is much naïvete in the surprised expression of the seated Sir Joseph, and much dainty charm in the youths with their vessels of gold.
