The Visitation
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by the German artist Ottmar Elliger, the Younger, depicting a biblical scene from the New Testament. This exquisite drawing, created in grey ink, brush, and grey wash on ivory laid paper, showcases the meeting between the Virgin Mary and her cousin Elizabeth, who was pregnant with John the Baptist. The image captures the moment of warm greeting and affectionate connection between the two women, with Mary reaching out to touch Elizabeth's swollen belly in a gesture of solidarity and support. This beautiful and historic artwork is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Europe, with its intricate details and delicate shading. The use of grey ink and wash adds depth and texture to the figures, bringing the scene to life and transporting the viewer back in time. The drawing is reminiscent of the famous painting "Our Lady of Folgoet" at Notre Dame du Folgoet in France, and shares similarities with other depictions of the Visitation, such as "Our Lady of Mariazell" and "Our Lady of Refuge." The Visitation holds a special place in Christian art and iconography, symbolizing the unity and love between women, as well as the divine plan of God. This stunning artwork by Ottmar Elliger, the Younger, is a must-see for anyone interested in art history, religious art, or the beauty of European culture. It can currently be found in the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
