EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art, the Historiated initial M depicting the Annunciation. Created around 1475 by an unknown Italian School artist from the 15th century, this masterpiece is now housed in the prestigious Musee Marmottan Monet in Paris, France. The image captures a momentous scene from Christian tradition - the Archangel Gabriel announcing to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and give birth to Jesus. The artist's skillful use of vellum brings out intricate details and vibrant colors, making this illuminated manuscript truly awe-inspiring. In this particular depiction, we see Mary kneeling in prayer as she receives this divine message. Her serene expression reflects her devotion and willingness to fulfill God's plan. The letter "M" serves as a historiated initial adorned with delicate lilies symbolizing purity and innocence. This Renaissance artwork not only showcases exceptional craftsmanship but also invites viewers to contemplate on faith and spirituality. It reminds us of the power of prayer and supplication as Mary humbly accepts her role in salvation history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured every nuance of this historic piece without any commercial intent.
