EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Jean Colombe, a renowned artist from the 15th century. Titled "The Annunciation" this piece is part of the Book of Hours of Louis d'Orleans and was created in 1490 on vellum. In this scene, we witness a momentous event as Archangel Gabriel appears before Virgin Mary to deliver an important message. The angel stands tall and majestic, surrounded by a chorus of angels who fill the air with their heavenly voices. The intricate details of their wings and flowing robes are beautifully captured in this illuminated manuscript. Mary kneels humbly before Gabriel, her expression filled with awe and reverence. The fictive architecture behind them adds depth to the composition, creating a sense of sacredness within the scene. This stunning illumination is found within a prayer book or choir stall that would have been used for devotional purposes during medieval times. Its delicate colors and meticulous brushwork demonstrate Colombe's mastery as an illuminator. Preserved at the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia, this artwork continues to inspire viewers with its spiritual significance and artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon it today through this print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to experience the profound beauty that lies within these pages.
