  • 1827.08.06/ maison de ventes : Robins (John). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Visitation of the Virgin to her Cousin Elizabeth. On the fore-ground, and left of the picture, stands the Virgin, holding up her ample drapery with her left hand, and bending forward, in a graceful attitude, towards Elizabeth, who has advanced from the portico of her house, and, kneeling before the Virgin, seems to utter the prophetic exclamation -- "Whence is this to me, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me?" At the same instant, the Virgin, whose countenance beams with ineffable affection, is taking her by the hand, to raise her up. Behind Elizabeth stands Zacharias, upon an upper step of the door, with his hands raised, and his countenance expressing wonder and admiration. On the same side, and close to the front, is a naked figure, a Pilgrim, reclining upon some drapery on the ground; his attention is directed to the passing scene, with an attitude and expression of Faith and Hope. This auxiliary to the composition was, probably, intended by the artist as an emblematic figure. Behind the Virgin, and a little retired, are three females; the nearest is carrying a basket on her head; the other two (one of whom has a child in her arms) appear to be in conversation. A third female is seen on the further side of Zacharias; and two more (one of whom is leading a child) are in the distance. A groupe of three angels hover above; two of them have wreaths of flowers in their hands, and the other is shedding flowers upon the earth...This splendid picture is, happily, in the purest state of preservation; it is painted upon a panel of white poplar, 2 inches thick -- size, 13 feet by 8-feet-3 wide, arched top. The artist has signed it with his monogram, and dated it 1560...Lanzi, in his Storia Pittorica, mentions this Picture as the chef d'oeuvre of Manzuoli's works (Thomaso Manzuoli di Friano)|The Visitation of the Virgin to her Cousin Elizabeth.
