Visitation is a 1450 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, depicting Visitation, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows two women meeting, one of them pregnant. This scene is interesting because it's a rare moment of everyday life in art from this time. The women's clothes and the details in the background give us a glimpse into what life was like back then. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: woodcut.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
