An Adoration of the Magi attributed to Anthony van Dyck has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) by the Community of Madrid.

This large canvas (150 x 230 cm) from a private collection has just been declared BIC by the Community of Madrid. The work follows the model designed by Peter Paul Rubens in the Musée de Beaux-Arts de Lyon (inv. n.º A118). It is a theme and a composition of which Rubens himself, and his workshop under his supervision, has made versions and copies, so this one from a private collection illustrates the success of the scene. (About the different versions and copies: H. Devisscher y H. Vlieghe, The Life of Christ before the Passion. The Youth of Christ, I, Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard, London-Turnhout: Harvey Miller Publishers, 2014, pp. 175-191).

The only work with this subject by Van Dyck of large size in Hispanic collections of the seventeenth century is the one documented in 1647 in the collection of the IX Admiral of Castile. (M. Díaz Padrón, with the collaboration of J. Sanzsalazar and A. Diéguez Rodríguez, Van Dyck en España, vol. II, Madrid: Editorial Prensa Ibérica, 2012, p. 741, B.2). In the communiqué of the Community of Madrid it has not been revealed whether the work has reached the current collectors recently or if it was already in Spain since ancient times.
