About the piece
Dating to approximately 1660, this evocative oil painting from the Ducal Museum Gotha collection depicts the symbolic meeting of the infant Christ and John the Baptist. The children are rendered with soft, painterly forms against a dramatic, moody sky, with John holding a staff bearing the 'Ecce Agnus Dei' banner. A small lamb rests beside them, completing the classical allegorical composition.
