Christ Discovered in the Temple (1342), by Simone Martini


The moment when Christ discovers that his mother doesn't understand his spiritual impulse, and he is alone. Projection of Gethsemane etc. Mary and Joseph play the roles of the future disciples. Joseph points out to his son (the God!) that he is supposed to follow his social obligations.
