圣母拜访

Attributed to Master Heinrich of Constance German

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 304

就在童贞女玛利亚得知她已怀上耶稣之后不久，她造访了同样有身孕的表亲以利沙伯；以利沙伯的儿子就是后来的施洗约翰。玛利亚和以利沙伯雕像上的原漆和镀金几乎完好如初，她们有水晶覆盖的体腔，原本可能可以从这里看到他们腹中的胎儿。在这件作品中，玛利亚温柔地将手放在以利沙伯的肩上，以利沙伯则将手放在胸前，这一动作是暗指她的呼喊：“我主的母亲到我这里来，这是从哪里得的呢？”（路加福音1:43）与这件雕塑相似的“圣母拜访”像也出现在同一时期的其他日耳曼语大地上。
