The (long) poem Bread and Wine that Nancy is quoting two lines from in Chapter 8 may be found here in a bilingual version (see section 8):

one (of many!) reports on and digital photos of the painting by Pontormo: https://www.arttrav.com/florence/pontormo-visitation/ 

including an enlargement of the two figures at the side.
(a clearer image is at : https://www.apollo-magazine.com/pontormo-visitation-getty-center/
- the colours appears to unrealistic in most of the digital reproductions)


Here is a work by Bill Viola called Visitation, which I think may post-date Nancy's book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td45JUUuSas
