Corteo dei Re Magi con san Pietro, san Paolo e san Girolamo

This Procession of the Magi with Saints Peter, Paul, and Jerome by the painter Augustinus at the Pinacoteca Civica di Forlì combines the popular Epiphany narrative with the display of patron saints, creating a complex devotional program for a Romagnol church. The Adoration of the Magi was among the most frequently depicted subjects in Gothic art, its theme of worldly rulers paying homage to the Christ Child carrying powerful political and theological resonance. The painter Augustinus remains an obscure figure in the context of late fourteenth-century Emilian-Romagnol painting.

Executed in tempera on gold ground panel, the procession composition allows for elaborate depiction of courtly costume and equestrian detail within a traditional Gothic framework. The inclusion of multiple saints alongside the narrative scene creates a layered devotional image combining storytelling with iconic presentation.
