"The Visitation" (1519–1521) is a significant Renaissance painting by the Italian artist Sebastiano del Piombo, whose real name was Sebastiano Luciani. This artwork is notable for its depiction of the biblical encounter between the Virgin Mary and her cousin Elizabeth, as described in the Gospel of Luke. The event, known as the Visitation, captures the moment when Elizabeth, who is pregnant with John the Baptist, greets Mary, who is carrying Jesus.

Sebastiano del Piombo was a Venetian painter who later worked in Rome, and he was influenced by the works of both Giovanni Bellini and Giorgione, as well as Michelangelo. "The Visitation" showcases his mastery of color, a characteristic of the Venetian school, combined with the powerful form and composition influenced by his Roman experiences and interactions with Michelangelo.

The painting measures 184 cm × 189 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. It is a prime example of the High Renaissance style, blending naturalism with idealized forms. The figures of Mary and Elizabeth are rendered with a sense of weight and volume, and their emotional interaction is a focal point of the composition. The use of chiaroscuro, the dramatic contrast between light and dark, enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures and adds to the painting's emotional depth.

"The Visitation" is also notable for its historical context, as it was created during a period of significant religious and artistic change in Europe. Sebastiano's work reflects the transition from the High Renaissance to the Mannerist style, which would dominate the mid-16th century. The painting's composition, with its emphasis on the figures' interaction and the subtle treatment of space and light, demonstrates the artist's ability to convey complex religious themes through art.

As a testament to Sebastiano del Piombo's skill and the painting's importance, "The Visitation" has been studied and admired for its technical excellence and its poignant portrayal of a key moment in Christian narrative. It remains an important work for scholars interested in the development of Renaissance art and the interplay between the artistic centers of Venice and Rome during this period.
