About the piece
Painted around 1630, this work by the Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens captures the intimate moment of Saint Anne teaching the young Mary. The composition is enriched by the presence of Saint Joachim and celestial putti crowning the scene with flowers, rendered in Rubens' characteristic luminous and dynamic style with rich attention to the sheen of silk and skin.
