About the piece

Created in 1613, this work by Spanish artist Luis Tristán represents the elegant transition from Mannerist influence to the naturalism of the Baroque. The composition is anchored by the Virgin Mary's vividly colored crimson and blue robes, contrasted against a dark background and the vibrant green of a draped curtain, all rendered with sophisticated painterly detail.
