Légende
'St Luke Drawing the Virgin', detail, 15th century. The subject is taken from a 6th-century legend of Greek origin, according to which St Luke was the first ever to draw a portrait of the Virgin Mary. St Luke has sunk respectfully to his knees as he seeks to capture her appearance. The artist manages to convey both Luke's trembling reverence and his concentration on his drawing.
