Description: | St Joachim was the husband of St Anne, and the father of the Virgin Mary, although religious sources are keen to stress that Mary was not conceived by 'marital relations'. The non biblical gospel of St James is the only real source of information on him. In this typical seventeenth-century Italian work, St Joachim is seen with his daughter, the Virgin Mary. | Subjects: | religion (St Joachim; Virgin Mary); figure; landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8644... | Go to resource |
