Icon

This form of icon art was created by Brueghel Pieter , and it was called Painting. Adoration of the Magi. This piece of art was created in 1564. You could have read a novel on the description of this picture and still could not even come close to the powerful message you get the first time you view this. As anyone in the Christian religion can attest to a picture can say a million words. This represents the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus Christ in her arms. And because she had him being a virgin everyone was interested in seeing and viewing the miracle. And kneeling to the ground because of the religious implications.
