Description: | The Archangel Gabriel is depicted on the verso of the left wing of the Triptych with the Nativity and Saints. When the triptych is closed, Gabriel appears with the Virgin (depicted on the verso of the right wing) to form an Annunciation scene. Placed in the foreground, Gabriel occupies almost the entire space. The Archangel's robes fall in deep folds and the movement of the fabric is conveyed as the figure kneels before the Virgin. Details, such as the construction of Gabriel's robes and the window which frames him, are keenly observed - features typical of fifteenth-century Northern European art. | Subjects: | religion (Annunciation; Angel Gabriel); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Wolgemut, Michael (German painter and printmaker, born between 1434-1437, died 1519) Æ Studio of Attributed to studio of Schongauer, Martin (German painter and engraver, ca. 1430 - 1491) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8916... | Go to resource |
