Description: | In a domestic interior, the Virgin kneels before a prie-dieu, right. She wears long blue robes, edged with a gold hem. Her left hand holds the book she has been reading, her right is held up to acknowledge a figure - the Angel Gabriel, a fragment of whom only is visible on the left. The Virgin has long red tresses; her eyes are open but downcast, and her head is inclined towards the figure on the left. To the left of the Virgin is a yellow-metal lidded ewer with a single stem of flowering lilies. A scarlet-red canopied bed, on an elaborately-patterned tiled floor, is behind the Virgin on the right. On a wooden bedside cupboard is a clasped-book with a spool of tallow; a glass flask half-filled with a clear liquid; and a grey-metal lidded ewer. To the left, a four-legged stool with a red cushion; the wooden shutters of an open window, through which light falls across the walls and floor, above. | Subjects: | religion (Virgin Annunciate) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Master of the Prado Adoration of the Magi (Netherlandish painter, active ca. 1470-1480) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Memling, Hans (early Netherlandish painter, ca.1433-1494) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8755... | Go to resource |
