Description: | This painting was probably part of a diptych representing the Annunciation. The Archangel Gabriel is depicted on the related panel (O. 188). Here the Virgin Mary is shown with downcast eyes with an open book, her hands together in a prayer, and with the dove of the Holy Spirit above her. The Annunciation was a favourite subject for the exterior panels of Flemish altarpieces. | Subjects: | Virgin Mary) religion (Annunciation | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Flemish School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8937... | Go to resource |
