Notticelli: Adoration of Magi
According to the Florentine artist, biographer, and Medici courtier Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574), this painting contains the most faithful likenesses portrayed of Cosimo (kneeling before the Christ-Child) and Lorenzo (far right) Though the subject is Christian, the painting has a secular spirit, introduces individual portrait (Botticelli himself is in the far right-hand corner,) and serves to glorify the Medici family (Alinart/Scala/Art Resource)

Annunciation of the Virgin and the Nativity, remained popular among both patrons and artists, but frequently the patron himself and his family portrayed. In Botticelli’s ‘Adoration of the Magi,’ for example, Cosimo de’ Medici appears as one of the Magi kneeling before the Christ child. People were conscious of their physical uniqueness and wanted their individuality immortalized. Paintings cost money and thus were also means of displaying wealth. Although many Renaissance paintings have classical or Christian themes, the appearance of the patron reflects the new spirit of individualism and secularism. ` Page 400
