Waldemar Januszczak challenges the traditional notion of the Renaissance having fixed origins in Italy and showcases the ingenuity in both technique and ideas behind great artists such as Van Eyck, Memling, Van der Weyden, Cranach, Riemenschneider and Durer.

I visited Florence last spring, and toured several museums. One thing that really stood out was the number of paintings devoted to the Annunciation of Mary.

Whatever the root cause, the mixture of wealth, talented artists, and a desire to give to the church created quite a few masterful works.

Sounds like a great time! I’d like to visit the Uffizi at least.

The Annunciation recurred as a theme in the 19th century among the PRB artists.
