The scene is bathed in mysterious chiaroscuro, the contrasting effects of light and dark. At the center is Anne, the mother of Mary. Her daughter sits beside her on the right with the infant Jesus on her lap. Joseph, looking down, stands behind his family. Maulbertsch depicts the faces of the Holy Family with unusually individual and characteristic features, whereas the host of angels in the heavens is rendered in a sketchy, almost grotesque manner. God the Father and the Holy Spirit hover above the scene; meanwhile a man reads the Holy Scripture in the foreground. Maulbertsch has placed Christ’s grandmother at the heart of his work, thereby casting her as a bridge between the Old and New Testaments.Painting123621943025Upper Belvedereimage/jpegFoto: Johannes Stoll / Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/153566/fullimage/jpegFoto: Johannes Stoll / Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/153567/fullRepoussoirGod the Fatherthe Holy Ghost'Anna selbdritt' with Anna's three husbands and sometimes also Joseph presentstill other arrangements of 'Anna selbdritt', e.g.: young John the Baptist presenthttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-3025/manifest
