The Annunciation (The Flower of God), 1863
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Edward Coley Burne-Jones captures a profound moment in religious history. In this stunning print, we are transported to a serene bedroom where the divine and mortal realms intertwine. A window bathes the room in soft light, illuminating an angelic figure kneeling before a young woman. The profile of the angel is striking, as he delicately holds a lily - symbolizing purity and innocence. The woman, known as the Virgin Mary, gazes humbly at Gabriel while clutching her Bible. Every detail in this medieval-inspired scene speaks volumes about devotion and faith. From the intricately patterned carpet underfoot to the carefully crafted furnishings that adorn the room, it is clear that no element has been overlooked. The title "The Flower of God" alludes to both Gabriel's offering of the lily and Mary's role as chosen vessel for carrying Jesus Christ - often referred to as "the flower of God". This painting beautifully encapsulates their sacred encounter. Burne-Jones' mastery shines through his use of watercolor and bodycolour on paper, creating ethereal textures that enhance our emotional connection with this spiritual event. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork captured by Bridgeman Images, we cannot help but be moved by its beauty and significance.
