EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of profound significance in Italian art history. Created by Giovanni di Benedetto da Como in 1383, this miniature painting is part of the Officium Beatae Mariae Virginis manuscript by Alberto de Porcelis. The scene depicted is none other than the Annunciation: the Angel with a lily. In this exquisite artwork, we witness an angel kneeling before the Virgin Mary, holding a delicate lily as a symbol of purity and divine grace. The angel's profile reveals his devotion and reverence towards Mary, while his gilded halo signifies his celestial nature. Dressed in flowing robes that drape gracefully around him, he embodies the spirituality and elegance characteristic of Christian iconography. The meticulous attention to detail showcased in this 14th-century masterpiece is truly awe-inspiring. From the intricate frame surrounding the image to every stroke on parchment, it exemplifies both artistic skill and religious devotion. This vertical composition brings together four individuals - two men and two women - each playing their role in conveying this sacred moment from the New Testament. As we delve into this non-urban scene filled with religious symbolism, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its contribution to decorative art. With Latin script adorning its pages, this religious illustration serves as a testament to faith and creativity intertwined harmoniously through centuries past.
