Description: | This painting represents the moment in which a Jewish priest put his hand over those of Saint Joseph and the Virgin to solemnise their marriage. It is simply painted, the artist copying literally from a composition by Rubens which was engraved by Schelte Adams Bolswert (about 1586-1659) and published in Antwerp by G. Hendricx (after 1633). The original canvas by Rubens is lost, but might have been in the convent of Saint Elizabeth in Brussels. | Subjects: | Jewish priest); figure; interior religion (Espousal of the Virgin | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Rubens, Peter Paul (Flemish painter and draftsman, 1577-1640) Æ After After Bolswert, Schelte Adams (Flemish printmaker, 1586-1659) Previously attributed to Italian School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8543... | Go to resource |
