medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Thanks, Marjorie, for commemorating Monica by putting up those shots of Sant'Aurea at Ostia Antica and of Sant'Agostino in Rome.
The last of these:

is by Andrea Sansovino and is commonly referred to as a Madonna and Child with St Anne; its date tends to be given as 1512. See, e.g.:

You say (in your Description) that it's "A non-Trinitarian Saint Anne with Mary and Jesus." I would think of it rather as vaguely (or barely) Trinitarian. Not all instances of Anne Trinitaire are primarily vertical in orientation. Some are essentially horizontal and I would argue that this is one of them. It's Trinitarian in that Anne is holding Mary while her left hand is under Jesus' right foot in a manner that suggests either actual support or the willingness to provide that.
For an _obviously_ Trinitarian Anne Trinitaire where Anne and Mary are sitting side by side, holding the infant Jesus, see the example about 2/3 of the way down the page here:
