The Annunciation, c. 1610
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating masterpiece by the renowned Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens. This oil on canvas painting, measuring an impressive 310x178.6 cm, beautifully captures the sacred moment of the annunciation. In this scene, we witness the angel Gabriel appearing before the Virgin Mary with a message from God. The heavenly atmosphere is enhanced by cherubs and cherubim surrounding them, while a gentle dove symbolizing the Holy Spirit hovers above. What makes this artwork truly unique is an unexpected addition - a domestic cat peacefully resting in a sewing basket at Mary's feet. This inclusion adds an element of warmth and familiarity to such a divine encounter. Rubens' exceptional talent for capturing emotions can be seen in Mary's humble posture as she kneels before Gabriel with reverence and awe. Her serene expression reflects her acceptance of God's will. "The Annunciation" serves as an altarpiece in Rubenshuis, Antwerp, Belgium today. Its grandeur and intricate details continue to inspire viewers centuries later. This print by Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate every brushstroke and detail of Rubens' genius up close. It transports us back in time to experience this significant biblical event through his eyes once again.
