Description:
|
|
In the presence of the Trinity, the Virgin intercedes for man, exposing her breast that nurtured Christ. At the same time, Christ points to his mother and to his own wound as he looks upward towards a heavenly God the Father in a light mandorla, while the Holy Spirit, as a dove, descends towards him. This double intercession was cited in a text attributed to Bernard of Clairvaux, founder of the Cistercian order, shown kneeling below. (Source: Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; http://www.mmfa.qc.c a/)
