Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

All I have been able to find out about this Annunciation (so far!) is that it is possibly of Dutch origin, circa 1520, and is housed in the Berlin Gemäldegalerie.

I thought The Angelus Project had featured all of El Greco's Annunciations already! I was wrong. This gem, dated 1577-1580, was hiding in the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.

A delicate late 15th century Annunciation by Piero di Pollaiolo is full of architectural details.

From the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya comes this amazing Gothic Annunciation by an unknown artist from 15th century Valencia, Spain.

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.
