The Visitation is a 1540 unspecified by Unknown, a Northern Renaissance work, depicting Visitation, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see two women embracing in a hilly landscape, one older, one younger, both in long robes. This painting shows the moment Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth in the Bible. The artist used soft, rolling hills and tiny distant figures to make the scene feel alive. No one knows who painted it, but the style matches a group of German artists who loved nature. Look up the Danube school next.
