Angel Blessed Fouquet Jesuss Tells Testament Told
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th-century print, titled "Mary Told (Fouquet): An Angel Tells Mary that She is Blessed Among Women, Because She is Going to Be Jesus' Mother," is a beautiful representation of a pivotal moment in Christian history and theology. The image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts the angel Gabriel appearing before the Virgin Mary to deliver the momentous news that she has been chosen to bear the Son of God. This scene is derived from the New Testament of the Bible, specifically the Gospel of Luke (1:26-38), where the angel's words to Mary are recorded. The angel's announcement, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women," is a profound affirmation of Mary's unique role in salvation history. The print, attributed to the French engraver and publisher, Jacques Fouquet, is a masterful work of art that captures the essence of this sacred moment. Mary is depicted in a contemplative pose, her hands folded in prayer, as she listens intently to the angel's message. The angel himself is shown in a regal and majestic posture, his wings spread out in a display of divine power and grace. This print is not only a testament to the rich artistic traditions of the Baroque period but also a powerful reminder of the central role that Mary plays in the Christian faith. Her acceptance of God's will and her unwavering faith in the face of the impossible make her an inspiring figure for believers and non-believers alike. The print's intricate details, from the delicate folds of Mary's robes to the intricate patterns on the angel's wings, attest to the skill and artistry of the engraver. It is a work of art that invites contemplation and reflection, a reminder of the profound impact that a single moment in history can have on the course of human events.
