EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a stunning piece of art from the 15th-16th century, titled "Annunciation from Book of Hours". Created by the French School in Western France between 1490-1510, this masterpiece showcases intricate pen and ink work with tempera on parchment. Measuring at 22.8 x 14.8 cm, it is housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the UK. The image depicts a momentous biblical scene - the Annunciation - where Gabriel, an archangel, appears before the Virgin Mary to announce her divine destiny as the mother of Jesus Christ. The artist's attention to detail is evident through various elements present within this artwork. Delicate floral borders adorned with berries and foliage frame the central composition, while birds and butterflies flutter around symbolizing purity and rebirth. Noteworthy features include an array of animals such as doves representing peace and snails symbolizing patience. The use of vibrant colors adds depth to each figure portrayed, including Gabriel with his majestic wings and Mary with her blonde hair flowing gracefully. This illuminated manuscript beautifully combines religious symbolism with Gothic bookhand script that enhances its overall aesthetic appeal. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and devotion during this Renaissance period. Michael Jones has expertly captured this exquisite artwork through photography, allowing viewers to appreciate its intricacies even more closely. This print offers a glimpse into history while showcasing timeless themes such as divine love and presence that continue to resonate today.
