Mother of Mary and grandmother of Christ · Saint Anne
Leonardo da Vinci, Rubens, El Greco and Bellini bring together Anne, Mary and the Child in compositions devoted to filiation and the Holy Family.
Saint Anne is traditionally recognized as the mother of the Virgin Mary and the grandmother of Christ. Her story, developed by apocryphal texts, tells with Joachim the wait and then the miraculous birth of Mary. In art, the most famous subject brings together three generations: Anne, Mary and Jesus. Leonardo da Vinci organizes their bodies in a continuous movement where looks, arms and the lamb connect maternal filiation and announcement of the Passion. Rubens gives the group body warmth and baroque abundance. El Greco extends the Holy Family to the child John the Baptist, in a slender composition where generations respond to each other. Bellini places Anne near the Virgin, Child and John the Baptist with Venetian clarity. The book can evoke the education of Mary, another frequent theme where Anne teaches her daughter to read. The "Saint Anne" selection notably compares The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne - Leonardo da Vinci and The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne - Peter Paul Rubens. His reading favors the story.
Anne gives genealogical depth to the image: behind the mother and the Child appears the generation which precedes and supports them.
