The flattened forms, the prevalence of profiles and bold silhouettes, and the manner in which protagonists avoid the viewer’s gaze contribute to an aristocratic, artificial atmosphere. The jarring juxtapositions of&nbsp;colors build on Florentine painting traditions but&nbsp;without the softening shading and suave harmonies of a previous generation. These qualities are all hallmarks of the mid-sixteenth-&shy;century Florentine Mannerists. </P>\r\nThe imposing figure of the Virgin holds an overly large baby on her lap, the child Jesus, who appears about to slide forward. His posture prefigures the dead adult Christ cradled on his mother’s lap in the Pietà. Here, however, the interaction among the figures is more complex. Jesus turns backward toward his cousin, Saint John — also a miraculously born child — and grasps his staff. While Christ was born of a virgin, John was the child of the elderly Saint Elizabeth, who had long been infertile. Margaret, an early Christian saint from Antioch, is depicted with a dragon, from which she reportedly emerged unharmed after having been swallowed. Because of this apocryphal tale, women in labor invoked her. Mary looks toward this advocate for pregnant women, reminding the viewer of her own role as the Virgin of Childbirth. These references suggest that the painting may have been commissioned as an ex-voto celebrating the birth of an heir. </P></SPAN>"]},"label":{"en":["Description"]}}],"thumbnail":[{"id":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/PUAMANX25_JE19574/full/!350,350/0/default.jpg","type":"Image","format":"image/jpeg","height":350,"width":262,"service":[{"id":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/PUAMANX25_JE19574","type":"ImageService3","profile":"level2"}]}],"viewingDirection":"left-to-right","behavior":["individuals"],"requiredStatement":{"label":{"en":["Attribution"]},"value":{"en":["Princeton University Art Museum"]}},"provider":[{"id":"https://artmuseum.princeton.edu/about","type":"Agent","label":{"en":["Princeton Univesity Art Museum"]},"homepage":[{"id":"https://artmuseum.princeton.edu/","type":"Text","label":{"en":["Princeton Univesity Art Museum Homepage"]},"format":"text/html"}],"logo":[{"id":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/puam_logo/full/!200,200/0/default.jpg","type":"Image","format":"image/jpeg","height":38,"width ":200,"service":[{"@id":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/puam_logo","@type":"ImageService2","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}]}]}],"seeAlso":[{"id":"https://artmuseum.princeton.edu/collections/objects/34110","type":"Text","label":{"en":["Object Page in Online Collections Catalog"]},"format":"text/html"}],"partOf":[{"id":"https://data.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/objects/collection","type":"Collection"}],"items":[{"id":"https://data.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/objects/34110/canvas/34110-canvas-259999","type":"Canvas","height":7382,"width":5545,"items":[{"id":"https://data.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/objects/34110/page/34110-anno-259999","type":"AnnotationPage","items":[{"id":"https://data.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/objects/34110/annotation/34110-anno-259999","type":"Annotation","motivation":"painting","target":"https://data.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/objects/34110/canvas/34110-canvas-259999","body":{"id":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/PUAMANX25_JE19574/full/max/0/default.jpg","type":"Image","format":"image/jpeg","height":7382,"width":5545,"service":[{"@id":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/2/collection/PUAMANX25_JE19574","@type":"ImageService2","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"},{"id":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/PUAMANX25_JE19574","type":"ImageService3","profile":"level2"}]}}]}],"thumbnail":[{"id":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/PUAMANX25_JE19574/full/!350,350/0/default.jpg","type":"Image","format":"image/jpeg","height":350,"width":262,"service":[{"id":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/PUAMANX25_JE19574","type":"ImageService3","profile":"level2"}]}],"label":{"en":["View 1"]}},{"id":"https://data.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/objects/34110/canvas/34110-canvas-260000","type":"Canvas","height":7462,"width":5718,"items":[{"id":"https://data.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/objects/34110/page/34110-anno-260000","type":"AnnotationPage","items":[{"id":"https://data.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/objects/34110/annotation/34110-anno-260000","type":"Annotation","motivation":"painting","target":"https://data.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/objects/34110/canvas/34110-canvas-260000","body":{"id":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/PUAMANX25_JE19575/full/max/0/default.jpg","type":"Image","format":"image/jpeg","height":7462,"width":5718,"service":[{"@id":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/2/collection/PUAMANX25_JE19575","@type":"ImageService2","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"},{"id":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/PUAMANX25_JE19575","type":"ImageService3","profile":"level2"}]}}]}],"thumbnail":[{"id":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/PUAMANX25_JE19575/full/!350,350/0/default.jpg","type":"Image","format":"image/jpeg","height":350,"width":268,"service":[{"id":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/PUAMANX25_JE19575","type":"ImageService3","profile":"level2"}]}],"label":{"en":["View 2"]}}],"start":{"id":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/PUAMANX25_JE19574","type":"Canvas"}}
