Adoration of the Magi, after Rubens
Eugène Delacroix French
After Peter Paul Rubens Flemish
Not on view
Delacroix referred to reproductive prints in his copying practice even when he had the opportunity to see a painting in person. Rubens’s "Adoration of the Magi" (ca. 1616–17; now King’s College Chapel, Cambridge) was at Grosvenor House in London, where Delacroix might well have seen it during his 1825 visit to the English capital. However, this drawing, which concentrates on the kings and indicates the Holy Family only summarily, corresponds to the reversed orientation of an engraving.
