| - | The Cincinnati version appears with a red [[passionflower]] sprouting from a [[carnation]] held by the Madonna. Examination of the history of the New World flower shows that the painter never could have seen such a flower during his lifetime. | ||

| - | A recent examination of the painting at the Cincinnati Art Museum reveals that a 'mystery painter' added the passionflower perhaps a hundred years after van Cleve died. The design of the flowering parts held symbolism of the crucifixion and the discovery of passion flowers was reported as miraculous to the pope in the early 17th Century by clergy returning from the New World. This story of the fabrication of the van Cleve flower remains a mystery. See the article by [[Michael E. Abrams]] of [[Florida A&M University]], who uncovered the anomaly. | ||
