Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

I don't have any source listed for this detail of a stained glass window. I may have even taken it myself. (Google Images was no help!) Wherever it is, I think you'll agree that its delicate touch is something quite lovely.

This week we have the 1824 Annunciation by Alexander Ivanov. It is worth looking at in higher resolution!

A Google Image search brought up many instances of this Annunciation (it is clearly popular), but nothing with detailed information about its origin. If you know something about it, please share that in the comments!

On the wings of the stupendous Coronation of the Virgin Triptych by "the Master of 1499" we find a simple Annunciation in grisaille (grey shades that mimic sculpture). The triptych was purchased by Prince Albert and is still part of the Royal Collection Trust. Learn more about the Coronation of the Virgin Triptych on the website of the Royal Collection Trust.

About the Angelus Project

We rightly admire Muslim neighbors and co-workers who put everything on hold five times a day in answer to the "call to prayer." But Christians have a call to prayer, too! It is the Angelus. Morning, noon and evening we are invited to pause and reaffirm our faith in the Incarnation: The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (Jn. 1:14), because "God so loved the world that he sent his only Son" (Jn. 3:16).
The Angelus Project is a personal project of Sister Anne Flanagan, FSP, a Daughter of St Paul. Find out more about the media ministry of the Daughters of St Paul at DaughtersofStPaul.com.
