Adoration of the Magi, the most important surviving work by the Italian painter Gentile da Fabriano (circa 1370-1427). Originally executed in 1423 as an alterpiece for a side chapel in Santa Trinita Church in Florence, Italy, it is now in the collection of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.

The panel portrays the path of the three Magi, in several scenes which start from the upper left corner (the voyage and the entrance into Bethlehem) and continue clockwise, to the larger meeting with the Virgin and the newborn Jesus.
