The Immaculate Conception (Joachim en Anna receiving the Virgin Mary from God the Father) (c. 1757 – c. 1759)
Golden light spills from heaven as God the Father presents the infant Virgin Mary to her awestruck parents. Joachim and Anna reach upward, their faces alight with reverence, while celestial figures swirl in the luminous clouds above. The child glows at the center of this divine transaction, suspended between earth and sky.
