Picture of the day

Christ taking leave of his Mother is a subject in Christian art most common in the 15th and 16th centuries. It depicts Jesus saying farewell to his mother, Mary, before leaving for his final journey to Jerusalem, which he knows will lead to his Passion and death. In depictions of this subject, Jesus may be shown blessing his mother. Sometimes Jesus' followers, such as Peter, John the Evangelist, and Mary Magdalene, are included in the scene.

Shown here is a treatment of the subject by Albrecht Altdorfer. Completed c. 1520, the painting is held at the National Gallery in London.Painting: Albrecht Altdorfer
