EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the enchanting world of the Northern Renaissance. Created by Israhel van Meckenem, this exquisite engraving beautifully depicts the divine moment when Archangel Gabriel appears before the Virgin Mary to announce her immaculate conception. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness a winged figure gracefully descending from above, surrounded by rays of ethereal light. The angel Gabriel stands in awe-inspiring splendor as he delivers his sacred message to Mary, who kneels in prayer with utmost piety and humility. A gentle dove symbolizing the Holy Ghost hovers nearby, adding an aura of serenity and grace. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly remarkable - every delicate line etched into the image brings life to each element portrayed. Lilies, symbolic of purity and innocence, adorn the foreground while curtains softly billow behind Mary's figure.

This print serves as a powerful reminder of faith and divine intervention during a time when spirituality played a central role in people's lives.

C. , "The Annunciation" continues to inspire awe among visitors who are
