The Young Jesus, with Joseph, Mary, and Anna
Gerard de Lairesse1680
Rijksmuseum
Amsterdam, Netherlands
This scene is not found in the New Testament. It seems to be loosely based on the story of the twelve-year-old Jesus astounding the elders in the Temple with his wisdom. Here his audience consists of his terrestrial parents Joseph and Mary, and grandmother Anna. The décor, a lavishly appointed room, is also exceptional.
