Virgin And Child, c1465-70. Jesus raises one hand in blessing, a solemn expression on his face. The Virgin Mary appears pensive as she gently touches her son's shoulder, suggesting she foresees his future suffering. Later in life, according to Saint John's Gospel, Jesus would say, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life," the first two words of which—“Ego Su[m]”—appear on his scroll.
