The Meeting of the Magi from
Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry
The Limbourg Brothers, before 1416

This shows the legendary meeting of the Magi near Jerusalem
but it is Paris that is shown in the background including Norte Dame. It also shows the Three Age of Man as illustrated by the Magi with an old Melchior (Asia)on the lower right, a young, beardless Caspar (Europe) on the upper right, and a middle aged Balthazar (Africa complete with cheetahs) on the left.
