Christ Taking Leave of his Mother and Foretelling his Passion

Artist: Alessandro Turchi (Italian, 1578-1649)

Date: c. 1600-1649

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Royal Collection Trust, London, United Kingdom

Description

The incident of Christ taking leave of his mother is not mentioned in the Gospels but is told in the Pseudo-Bonaventura's Meditations on the Life of Christ. The present composition is an unusually elaborate development of theme. Christ stands at the right, with his right hand on his chest and his left pointing upwards, presumably indicating his heavenly father's will. In the sky above Christ is God the Father, seated on clouds, and three angels bearing the instruments of the Passion; the Cross and hammer; the spear, the reed with the sponge and nails; and the column and flails. In the foreground, opposite Christ, stands the Virgin Mary. She is weeping as she contemplates Christ's future. In the sky immediately above her head a child angel holds the crown of thorns and a dagger or short sword, presumably referring to Simeon's prophecy to her: 'Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also.' (Luke 2.35).

Detail of a sea nymph in The Death of Leander by Giulio Carpioni, 1655. Taken at the University of Michigan Museum of Art, Ann Arbor. Photograph by me.

In an oil painting, sea nymphs that are mourning the death of Leander, a lover of Hero, one of Aphrodite’s priestesses. Appropriate music: "Feet like fins" by the Cocteau Twins.

Here's the whole painting:

Hero and Leander by Peter Paul Rubens has nereids with similar feet. Almost completely human, but they can't walk on land.
