The Birth of the Virgin |
||||||||
|
||||||||
| Joachim and Anna return home to await the birth of Mary as foretold by the
angel. The scene takes place in Anna's bedroom where Mary is born.Mary is shown twice. In the foreground where she is washed and wrapped in swaddling clothes. Then again as she is handed to Anna for the first time. The double representation of a figure in the same time and space frame is unusual for Giotto, but quite common in earlier painting. |
