Gerard David's "Lineage of Saint Anne" (1500) depicts the genealogical tree of the Virgin Mary. The central figures are the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus, Saint Anne, and Joachim. A decorative, stylized tree trunk grows upwards from the base, with the ancestors of Mary perched upon its branches. This Northern Renaissance artwork is housed at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, Lyon, France.
