| Title: | Visitation of Mary, detail |
|---|
| Notes: | "Jean-Luc Nancy has written astutely of the "unnoticed" details of Pontormo's painting...The second sight to which we are recruited by Pontormo's painting of the meeting of the divinely impregnated Mary and her older cousin Elizabeth is signaled, according to Nancy, by the ecclesiastical Latin meaning of the word "visitatio." "Visitatio" denotes not merely a visitation but "a procedure for becoming aware of something, for examining and experiencing something." (Singer, 180) "The model of the embrace might have come from a slippage of meaning in the Greek word "aspasmos", which means a joyful, warm, and emphatic greeting." (from "Ground of the Image" by Jean-Luc Nancy, 2005, p. 155) |
