1590 (ca.), Ludovico Carracci, The Marriage of the Virgin -- National Gallery (London)
From the museum label: The Virgin and Saint Joseph are being married by the high priest. Joseph holds the miraculously flowering rod which identified him as the Virgin's divinely chosen spouse. The subject is not biblical but is recounted in Jacobus de Voragine's The Golden Legend, a 14th- century compendium of the lives of the saints.
