All About The Visitation

Meeting Mary and St. Elizabeth is referred to in this episode as the “Visitation.” He put it in the style of Ghirlandaio’s work, which featured an enormous classical arch with a landscape at its centre set in the background. Elizabeth, dressed in a bright yellow vest, is kneeling in tribute to Mary.

Ghirlandaio drew inspiration for the refraction effects of light in Flemish paintings while studying in Florence. In addition, there is a pearl and shell-decorated frieze (a nod to the virginity of Mary), a light veil worn by the Madonna, and a gold brooch with a ruby in the middle (a nod to Jesus’ upcoming Passion) that holds her cloak. A preliminary drawing of Mary’s cloak can be found in the Uffizi’s Gabinetto dei Disegni e delle Stampe.

There are two ladies standing to either side of the arch who are named Mary of Cleopas and Salome in the inscriptions. Their presence suggests that Jesus was crucified and raised. Many of the graceful figures depicted in works by Ghirlandaio, Botticelli and others have been influenced by Filippo Lippi’s Bartolini Tondo.

The stylistic variances between the figurines attest to the labour of workshop assistants, likely Sebastiano Mainardi. It’s marked on the arch’s right side with the year MCCCCLXXXXI (1491). Because of the triumphal arch and the Pantheon, the city in the mist could be a reimagining of Rome.
