Lübeck – St. Anne’s Museum Quarter (Old Weathered Mural)

This old mural is now at the bottom of a staircase, but it was originally at the end of a small chapel. I’m struggling to make this out, but the museum notes that it shows St. Anne, the patron saint of the convent, with her daughter Mary and her grandson Jesus. There seems to be some religious debate about whether Anne actually existed, but it feels inappropriate to think about that in this former convent that was named after her. There are apparently two standing figures at the side, but no-one is sure who they are and I’m not sure that I can even see them.

I asked AI what it could see without mentioning what was in the image, this is what ChatGPT decided it could see.

This is Gemini’s best guess. I’m not sure how close either of these are, but I like their creativity and am reassured that it wasn’t something obvious that I could have seen in the original photo.
