This picture is not on display at the moment, but I remember seeing it decades ago and its lodging in my memory as an image of late medieval devotion.
In the grand scheme of art history, this particular painting is not of great significance, yet its place in my memory shows how even a minor work can play a major role in the development of an individual's understanding and sensibilities.
