""the Visitation" Oil On Panel, 18th/19th Century"
This work, of exceptional quality in both composition and brushwork, strongly evokes the painting of the Provençal school. The gentleness and expressiveness of the faces of Mary and her cousin Elizabeth are particularly noteworthy. Mary is depicted wearing a red outer robe and a blue inner one, symbolizing how the divine clothed humanity. The divine light also suggests the presence of God above the figures, as well as cherubs scattering flower petals in a gesture of joy.
