EDITORS COMMENTS
The Annunciation, c. 1583 (bronze) captures the essence of divine revelation in a stunning relief sculpture by Italian artist Alessandro Vittoria. This remarkable artwork, measuring 97.8x61.6 cm, is housed at The Art Institute of Chicago and showcases Vittoria's mastery of the High Renaissance style. In this scene, we witness the pivotal moment when Archangel Gabriel appears before the Virgin Mary to deliver the news of her impending motherhood. The delicate low relief technique employed by Vittoria brings depth and dimension to every intricate detail, allowing us to marvel at his skillful craftsmanship. The angelic figures are portrayed with grace and elegance as they interact within this sacred encounter. Gabriel stands tall with outstretched wings, emanating a celestial glow that illuminates the entire composition. Meanwhile, Mary turns towards him with an expression filled with awe and reverence for what she is about to undertake. Vittoria's rendition beautifully captures the spiritual significance of this biblical event while showcasing his profound understanding of human emotion and anatomy. Through his artistry, he invites us into a world where heavenly beings communicate directly with mortals – a moment frozen in time for eternity. This bronze masterpiece serves as a testament to Vittoria's enduring legacy as one of Italy's most celebrated sculptors from the Renaissance era. Its presence at The Art Institute of Chicago allows visitors to experience firsthand the power and beauty inherent in religious art.
