14th - 18th century · Meeting of Mary and Elizabeth in European art
The Visitation represents the moment when Mary, pregnant with Jesus, meets Elizabeth, pregnant with John the Baptist: a gesture of welcome becomes revelation.
Told in the Gospel according to Luke, the Visitation follows the Annunciation. Mary goes to her relative Elizabeth; at the time of the greeting, Jean shudders in his mother's womb and Elizabeth recognizes the blessing brought by Mary. The Magnificat responds to this meeting. The artists translated the episode with a wide variety of gestures and settings. Giotto concentrates emotion in the embrace; Ghirlandaio places the two women in ordered Florentine architecture; El Greco lengthens the forms and intensifies the spiritual vision; Baroque painters develop light, movement and witnesses. The scene may include Zechariah, Joseph, maids or other saints, but its core remains the dialogue of two women and two maternity wards. This collection allows us to compare how composition, costume and gaze transform the same story between the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque. The "Visitation" selection notably compares The Visitation with Marie-Jacobie and Marie-Salomé and The Visitation of the Virgin with Saint Anne. His reading favors composition.
The Visitation holds a great story in a simple gesture: two women recognize each other and the invisible becomes perceptible by their meeting.
