The Visitation," a captivating 16th century drawing, depicts a biblical scene of two significant figures in Christian tradition coming together in a heartwarming embrace. The image, created using black chalk heightened with white on prepared paper washed purple, transports us back in time to the Italy of the 1500s. In this drawing, the Virgin Mary, holding the infant Jesus, visits her cousin Elizabeth, who is pregnant with John the Baptist. Elizabeth, moved by the presence of her revered cousin, reaches out to touch and embrace her. This moment of greeting, known as the Visitation, is a symbol of the unity and love between these two holy women. The drawing, although unsigned, is believed to be from the Italian school of the sixteenth century. It is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the time, showcasing the intricate details and delicate shading that characterize the period.
