Joachim's Dream 1304-06 Fresco, 200 x 185 cm Cappella Scrovegni (Arena Chapel), Padua There are six scenes of Joachim and Anne in the top tier on the right wall of the Arena Chapel. They tell of how Joachim was expelled from the temple because of his childlessness, how the angel appeared to Anne with the news that she would bear a child, how Joachim made a sacrificial offering that was favourable received by God, and of the angel appearing him in a dream with the announcement of the coming birth of Mary; the series concludes with Joachim's return to Jerusalem, where he meets his wife Anne at the Golden Gate, and Mary is conceived in the kiss that Anne bestows on her olderly husband. This story is with a happy ending, and with a quiet, pastoral atmosphere suggested by the rocky landscape and the sepherds with their sheep, whose soft, lifelike fleece has been meticulously rendered. *** Keywords: ************* Author: GIOTTO di Bondone Title: No. 5 Scenes from the Life of Joachim: 5.
