The Visitation

Artist: Jean André (French, 1662-1753)

Date: 1700-1753

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: National Trust Collections, London, United Kingdom

Description

This biblical scene shows the Virgin Mary in the centre, radiant and with her right hand on her belly, greeted by her older cousin Elisabeth on a step of a classical building. Joseph is behind Mary on the left carrying a bundle of clothes and Zacharias stands in a doorway with another figure behind Anne, up some steps, on the right. The visit is recounted in the New Testament (Luke 1:36-56) of the Bible . It is similar in composition to an altarpiece attributed to Frère André now in the Musée de Toulon from the chapel of the Hospice Civil du Saint Esprit at Toulon.
