Intercession Of Christ And The Virgin Mary With God The Father Roots of Art Intercession of Christ and the Virgin Mary with God the Father The Intercession of Christ and the Virgin Mary with God the Father was made in Tuscany, Italy around 1402 by an unknown artist. It is a painting and was originally an altarpiece from the Chapel of the Satissima Trinity in the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore at Florence. It contains images of Christ, Mary, the Father, the Holy Spirit, and of a Florentine family. We see Jesus in a green and red cloak, with the signature cross in the halo. The image of Christ is striking since it shows him on one knee, touching the wound he has to his side. He is pleading with God to save this Florentine family, the family that most likely commissioned this work of art. In Latin, Christ says, “My Father, let those be saved for whom you wished that I suffer the Passion.” This represents a reminder to us that Christ suffered for us and still asks God the Father to save man. Mary pleads to Jesus by saying, “Dearest son, because of the milk that I gave you, have mercy on them.” Mary has a fruit in her hand, what god, mary, father, christ, jesus, family, holy, shows, halo, florentine, clouds, artist, wanted, virgin, trying, trinity, spirit, size, since, save, salvation, represents, radiance, painting, man, made, intercession, images, image, green, gold, cross, blue, around, wound
