Original Dimensions: 62 1/4" x 37"

Location: National Gallery of Art, London

About Artwork: (1510-18) "This is the central panel from a three-panel altarpiece for S. Maria della Scala, Verona. The flanking panel of Saint Roch by Paolo Morando is also in the National Gallery’s collection, but the other flanking panel of Saint Sebastian by Francesco di Marco India Torbido is missing. It is quite unusual for each of the three panels of a triptych to be painted by a different artist. The commission for this work was connected with an outbreak of plague in Verona from 1510 to 1512. Roch and Sebastian are both saints invoked against plague. The Virgin Mary, Christ Child and Saint Anne are in an enclosed rose garden, symbolic of the Virgin’s purity. They are sitting on each other’s laps beneath a lemon tree, emphasising that this is the generational family tree of Christ. The dead dragon at the feet of the Virgin and the olive branch held by Christ symbolise his victory over the devil but may also refer to the ending of the 1516 siege of Verona." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
