Description
This is a digital painting based on a photograph taken in the Cloisters Museum in New York City. It shows a painted limewood sculpture of Saint Anne lying with the swaddled baby Mary beside her. The sculpture is of German origin (Bavaria) and is dated ca. 1480.
Per Wikipedia: The Cloisters is a museum in Upper Manhattan, New York City specializing in European medieval architecture, sculpture and decorative arts, and is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Its early collection was built up by the American sculptor, art dealer and collector George Grey Barnard, and acquired by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. in 1925. Rockefeller extended the collection and in 1931 purchased the site at Washington Heights and contracted the design for the Cloisters building.
