About Artwork: (About 1491-4) "The Virgin Mary’s parents, Joachim and Anne, embrace at the Golden Gate in Jerusalem. Long childless, they had been told by an angel that they would have a daughter. On the right is Charlemagne, Holy Roman Emperor and King of the Franks. This was the left side of a large altarpiece; the right side was an Annunciation (Art Institute of Chicago). The central section, now lost, would have been about 48 to 50 cm wide and the whole painting about 160 cm wide. We aren't sure what was shown in the central section – perhaps Saint Anne teaching the Virgin to read in front of a red and gold cloth of honour, the edge of which you can see over the battlements at the right. The altarpiece was possibly painted for Anne de Beaujeu, Duchess of Bourbon. The Bourbons were especially interested in Mary’s conception and had set up an altar to it in the church at Moulins, their hometown, in the 1470s; this altarpiece might have been intended for this location." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
