In 2014, Cologne celebrates the 850th anniversary of the arrival of
the Magi, a momentous event that made the cathedral city one of the
most popular pilgrimage sites of the Middle Ages. Today, the
influence of the Magi on the city remains evident in the crowns
that grace its municipal coat of arms and the Shrine of the Magi at
the heart of the magnificent Cologne Cathedral. The Magi: Legend,
Art and Cult is published to accompany a major commemorative
exhibition at the Museum Schnutgen that traces the legend of the
Magi through works of art from the fourth to the sixteenth century,
bringing together sculptures, paintings, manuscripts, and other
works that interpret the Magi. The works of art that comprise the
exhibition come from Italy, Germany, and France, but include many
rarely seen works from Cologne that cannot be moved from their
fixed positions for liturgical or conservational reasons. These
include such works as the wooden doors of St. Mary in the Capitol,
the shrine of Nicholas of Verdun, and the altar painting of Stephan
Lochner from the former Ratskapelle.
