The Visitation is a 1517 tempera by Angelos Pitzamanos, a Byzantine icon painting work, depicting Elizabeth, held at Walters Art Museum.
This painting shows a group of people gathered around a woman in a black robe and red dress. She stands in the center, with her right hand extended toward an older man kneeling before her. The scene is set against a backdrop of a town or village, with buildings and hills visible in the distance. The artist has used a range of colors, including reds, greens, and blues, to create a sense of depth and texture. The figures are arranged in a dynamic composition, with the woman at the center drawing the viewer's eye. The painting is a beautiful example of the artist's skill and attention to detail.
