Two riders on camelback make their way along a stony desert track, a scene that reflects the long journey traditionally imagined for the Magi. The Gospel of Matthew says wise men came from the East to Bethlehem but never mentions camels or a desert, so those details were added by artists and storytellers over the centuries. Many European and American painters and printmakers placed such caravans in sun-bleached, rocky landscapes meant to suggest the Holy Land. The scene is less a record of an actual trip than a picture of how the first Christmas was imagined.
