The Three Kings' Dream (1320 ca.) is a fresco by an Unknown Artist (Master of Sant'Abbondio), at the Basilica of Sant'Abbondio, Como, Lombardy, Italy, as part as a cycle of Scenes from the Life of Jesus (1320 Master of Sant'Abbondio), art.
The frescoes at Sant'Abbondio were completed sometime between 1315 and 1324, under the patronage of the Franciscan Bishop Leone Lambertenghi. This quite uncommon scene depict the moment in which the Magi (here the "Three Kings") were warned in a dream by an angel not to go back to Herod, as promised, but to return home.
