The Tree of Jesse. The tree of Jesse. While he is sleeping sleeping a tree is growing from Jesse's body with on it the twelve Kings of Judah, the ancestors of Christ, and Mary with the Christ child in the top. The kings are: David, Solomon, Rehoboam, Abijah, Asa, Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah and Manasseh. On either side of Jesse two prophets are standing, probably Isaiah and Jeremiah. To the left a nun in a white habit, probably from the Order of Magdalene, is kneeling. She is the donor of the painting. Circa 1500. 700 Jan Mostaert - Tree of Jesse - WGA16298
