Description: | This small arched panel depicts the Holy Family with saints, some of whom are mentioned in the Gospels and others in Jacopo da Voragine's Golden Legend. On the left are Zacharias and his elderly wife Saint Elizabeth, with their son John the Baptist. Next to Elizabeth is the Holy Simeon, 'advanced in years', who is mentioned in the account of Christ's presentation (Luke 2. 25-35). At the centre is the Virgin holding the infant Christ. Saint Joseph wears a yellow cloak and holds his flowering rod, and the two saints behind him are the Virgin's parents, Anne and Joachim. | Subjects: | St Joachim St Anne St Simeon); buildings and gardens St Joseph St Zacharias animal (lamb); figure; religion (Holy Family Virgin St Elizabeth infant Christ St John the Baptist | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Garofalo, Benvenuto Tisi da (Italian painter, 1481-1559) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8544... | Go to resource |
