EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Life of the Virgin: The Annunciation" by Hendrick Goltzius, a renowned Dutch artist from the late 16th century. Created in 1594, this engraving captures a pivotal moment in Christian tradition - the annunciation of the Virgin Mary. Goltzius's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The sheet measures 47 x 35.1 cm, while the image itself spans across 46.1 x 34.9 cm, making it an impressive and visually striking piece. In this artwork, Goltzius depicts the angel Gabriel appearing before Mary to announce that she has been chosen as the mother of Jesus Christ. The delicate expressions on their faces convey both surprise and reverence for this divine revelation. The composition is masterfully balanced with intricate patterns adorning Mary's clothing and surroundings, adding depth and richness to the scene. Goltzius skillfully uses light and shadow to create a sense of ethereal beauty that envelops both figures. This print allows viewers to appreciate Goltzius's exceptional talent even centuries after its creation. It serves as a testament to his contribution to art history and his ability to capture profound religious narratives through engravings.
