St. Anne with the Virgin and the Christ Child 1445 - 1465

This miniature, created by an anonymous artist between 1445 and 1465, depicts St. Anne with the Virgin and Christ Child. The artwork, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the traditional iconography of the "St. Anne" theme in art. The composition places St. Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary, seated centrally, cradling the Christ Child, while the Virgin Mary, in green robes, sits beside her. The use of simple, clear lines and bright colors within the red frame emphasizes the sanctity and solemnity of the subject matter.
