The Bible had inspired many artists. With the subject about baby Jesus, Virgin Mary, and Mary's mom, Saint Ann, there were more than 1000 paintings. Yet the painting showing in this blog by Albrecht Durer is quite unique in its simplicity and haunting devotional painting of Saint Ann. Anne's hand on her daughter takes on a consolatory meaning. Anne's distant gaze suggests a premonition of Christ's Passion.
