Visitation; Saint Elizabeth embracing the Virgin at center as Saint Joseph walks toward them on the right and Zacharias greets them on the left; from 'Theatrum Pictorium', after Palma Il Vecchio 1651 - 1665

"Visitation," an etching by Peeter van Lisebetten, depicts the biblical event of the Virgin Mary's visit to her cousin Elizabeth. The artwork, which was created between 1651 and 1665, features a dramatic composition with Mary and Elizabeth embracing at the center, while Joseph and Zacharias are positioned on the right and left, respectively. The scene is set in an outdoor space, with a cityscape and trees in the background. Van Lisebetten’s etching is a faithful reproduction of an earlier painting by Palma il Vecchio, a popular Venetian artist, with meticulous detail and a focus on the figures’ expressions and gestures. This artwork is part of a larger series of etchings titled “Theatrum Pictorium.” This print is held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
