Adoration of the Magi Altarpiece (Lochner)

The Adoration of the Magi Altarpiece (also known as Dombild Altarpiece, or Kölner Dombild; German for "Cologne cathedral picture/painting") is a painted triptych by the German artist Stefan Lochner, created c. 1440–1442. Originally painted for the council-chapel St. Maria in Jerusalem in Cologne, it was moved to Cologne Cathedral in 1810 and is now in that church's Marienkapelle, south of the choir. It is also known as the Three Kings Altarpiece (Dreikönigsaltar) and the Patron Saints of Cologne Altarpiece (Altar der Kölner Stadtpatrone).
