| Title: | The Visitation: Elizabeth Greets Mary, detail |
|---|
| Notes: | "The Annunciation is very often accompanied by a second image of Christ's conception: the Visitation. This can be depicted with Mary and Elizabeth embracing or with the two women speaking to each other, and Grabar has shown that the Visitation was the Christian equivalent of the parental embrace which was a standard image of conception in the pre-Christian royal biographical cycles. The Annunciation and Visitation were, then, originally 'two parallel images of the same theme of conception, the second being added -- in conformity with common iconographic tradition -- to show the first witness to Christ's conception.' " (Clayton, 144) Donated by James T. Womack and Anne Richardson, Nashville, TN. |
