LUKE, Chapter 1

1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. 3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught….

26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”

38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.

[Hebrews 11:6]

!

[spankalib]

Wow! Tissot’s angel in #102!

[blogOps]

No such thing as incorrect thread. Love the artwork as usual.

Thanks and happy belated Easter.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Tissot’s was easily my favorite of all of them, by a country mile. Not only because of that transcendant angel, but also because of Mary. Everything about her seems exquisite: her attitude, draping....I’d have placed it last, but I had that detail for 103.

[left that other site]

Tissot outdid himself this time! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

And to you! I couldn’t very well restart the series, focusing on events leading up to the Nativity, with Easter looming, so I waited for Monday. Christmas in April!

[Hebrews 11:6]

I certainly agree.

[etabeta]

The Annunciation has been the subject of great paintings and drawings. Many, many favorites here. This one by Gerard David (1510, Bruges)was part of a large polyptych. These panels were meant to be seen from below, thus David altered the perspective and scale of the figures.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Very clever. Thanks for tipping us off.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Curious: Why not simply tilt them forward? Doing so would put them in shadow?

[etabeta]

They were two panels among others that formed the altarpiece, they could not be tilted. If you noticed, the lower legs of the angel were too short for the length of the upper legs but from the floor they looked perfectly balanced.

[etabeta]

Today the altarpiece is not whole anymore, the many panels are scattered in various museums. Pity!

[Hebrews 11:6]

I had noticed. Artistic legerdemain!

[Vendome]

Anything by Rubens and Venusti...

[Hebrews 11:6]

On the house.
