Candlemas


Today is Candlemas, the Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple and of the Purification of the Virgin Mary.

There is more about the painter at Master of the Life of the Virgin and on the National Gallery website at Master of the Life of the Virgin

I may well post his other seven scenes from the life of Our Lady, which are in Munich, as we go through the liturgical year.

A happy Candlemas to all readers
