Raphael Marriage of the Virgin, Florence, Italy, 1504 According to the Golden Legend (a 13th century collection of stories about saints’ lives), Joseph competed against other suitors for Mary’s hand in marriage. The high priest was to give the Virgin to whichever suitor presented to him a rod that had miraculously bloomed. Raphael depicted Joseph with his flowering rod and about to place Mary’s wedding ring on her extended hand. Other virgins congregate at the left, and the unsuccessful suitors stand on the right.
