Légende

The Annunciation; Book of Hours, about 1410. Additional Info:Interrupting the Virgin at her reading, the angel Gabriel kneels before Mary holding a winding scroll that displays his message that she will bear the son of God. Gabriel gestures toward God who blesses the humble Virgin from above. The entire scene is set against the glittering gold, blue and red patterned background typical of French illumination around the year 1400, and a web of vines accented with ivy leaves surrounds the miniature. This image introduces a mass for the feast of the Annunciation in this book of hours.
