EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Annunciation, a masterpiece attributed to Petrus Christus, a renowned Netherlandish painter. Created around 1450, this oil painting on wood measures approximately 31 x 25 7/8 inches (787 x 657 cm), with a painted surface of about 30 1/2 x 24 1/4 inches (775 x641 cm). The scene depicted in this artwork takes place in an outdoor setting, offering viewers a birds-eye view of the sheltered doorway of a church. In this sacred space, Gabriel, the angelic messenger from heaven, greets Mary and presents her with the divine message that she will bear God's son. The personification of ecclesia can also be seen nearby. Petrus Christus has masterfully captured the moment when Mary is annunciated by Gabriel. His exceptional attention to detail and skillful use of oil paints bring life to each element within the composition. From the intricate architectural features to the delicate expressions on both figures' faces, every brushstroke tells a story. This print allows art enthusiasts and admirers alike to appreciate Christus' artistic genius up close and personal. It serves as a testament to his significant contributions during his active years between 1444 until his death in Bruges in either 1475 or '76.
