About the piece

Painted around 1640 by Neapolitan master Bernardo Cavallino, this work depicts the emotional meeting of Saints Anne and Joachim. The composition showcases Cavallino's signature blend of Caravaggesque lighting with a vibrant, jewel-toned palette, particularly evident in the sweeping red and gold robes of the figures.
