Description:
|
There is no documentation about the commission and the original location of the work, which is known to have been part of the Austrian Imperial collections in Vienna in the 18th century. It has also been attributed to Giorgione or Marco Basaiti. In the early 20th century, Ludwig interpreted it as a pictoral transcription of the early 14th French poem Le Pèlerinage de l'Âme ("Pilgrimage of the Soul"), by Guillaume de Deguileville. According to him, the painting represents the ideal path of purification of the soul. The path begins with St. Anthony Abbot and ends with the Virgin Mary as an intercessor for mankind.
