EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Annunciation" a remarkable painting created by Alesso Baldovinetti between 1449 and 1454. The artwork is part of the esteemed Kress Collection, housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. Published in the book "Masterpieces of Painting" edited by Huntington Cairns and John Walker, this image captures the essence of religious devotion and artistic brilliance. In this scene, we witness a pivotal moment from biblical history as the Virgin Mary receives a divine message from an angelic figure identified as Gabriel. With vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes, Baldovinetti brings to life this sacred encounter between heaven and earth. The artist's Florentine school background shines through his masterful use of tempera technique. The composition portrays Mary kneeling before Gabriel with an expression filled with awe and reverence. This powerful depiction symbolizes her acceptance of God's will for her to conceive Jesus Christ through immaculate conception—a central tenet of Christian faith. "The Annunciation" serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic excellence during the fifteenth century. Through its publication in the 1940s, it continues to inspire viewers with its miraculous portrayal of one woman's profound encounter with divinity. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of the beauty within art but also our own capacity for faith and spiritual connection.
