To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is no exchange of rings, but the bridegroom holds out to the bride a ring, in which she places her finger. The Priest holds the wrists of both and joins their hands. The minute detail of the procedure presented great difficulties to the artist. It is necessarv to look verv closely into Perugino^s picture to discover the real meaning of the act. Raphael has here worked independently. He places ]Marv and Joseph farther apart and alters their attitudes. Joseph has already made his gesture an...d the ■ ring has been brought into the middle of the picture. It is Mary's turn to act, and the attention of the spectator is directed to the movement of her right arm. This arm forms the real centi'e of action in the group, and the reason why Raphael alteredjthe position of the figures is easily under- stood. He wanted to display -the important^ lijrib in the front of jthe^ pic±urejmdj.mcovered- Noi' is this all : the direction of the movement is now taken up by the Priest who guides ]Mary's hand, and instead of stand- ing as in Perugino''s painting, a stiff' central line, follows the action with his whole person.
