About Artwork: (About 1540) "This is one of four panels that originally made up a pair of painted shutters to cover a central image, probably of the Virgin Mary crowned in the heavens. The outside of each shutter was decorated with a saint, the inside with an angel. When the shutters were closed, Saint Joseph would have been on the left. Saint Joseph is more commonly portrayed as an elderly man, but here he is quite young, with a full dark beard and a turban. He appears like this in other paintings by Moretto. Joseph’s staff is blossoming with flowers of the oleander plant, which is sometimes known in Italian as mazza di San Giuseppe (‘Staff of Saint Joseph’). The flowering rod represents the staff that broke into blossom to show that Joseph was chosen to marry the Virgin Mary, as told in the Golden Legend, a thirteenth-century compilation of stories about the saints." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
