Посещение (Марией ее кузины Елизаветы)

Attributed to Master Heinrich of Constance German

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 304

Получив весть о том, что она станет матерью Иисуса, Дева Мария в скором времени посетила свою кузину Елизавету, также ожидавшую ребенка (Иоанна Крестителя). Фигуры Марии и Елизаветы с оригинальной живописью и почти нетронутой позолотой имеют закрытые хрусталем углубления, в которых по всей вероятности изначально были помещены изображения их детей. Мария нежно кладет руку на плечо Елизаветы, а Елизавета поднимает руку к груди, словно сопровождая жест словами: «И откуда это мне, что пришла Матерь Господа моего ко мне?» (Лука 1:43). Сцены Посещения, сходные с этой, встречаются и в других, современных работах немецкоязычных стран.
