Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

This week we have another Annunciation by the young Argentine, Emmanuel Cusnaider. This one is a personal favorite. (Follow @emmanuelcusnaider on Instagram to see new art as it progresses!)

I suspect that Murillo's other Annunciation is the one that comes to most people's minds when they envision the Angel Gabriel's visit to Mary. But he did this one, too:

This triptych with St Jerome and St John the Baptist is by the "Maestro de la Santa Sangre" (Master of the Precious Blood.) We are at the beginning of the Annunciation: Gabriel's greeting, "Ave, Gratia plena" does not have a response yet.

Here is the central panel; the full triptych can be seen beneath it.

I'm finding new Annunciations all the time (and storing them up to share with you week by week!). This one is by Dorothy Webster Hawksley; I found it on a website in development: https://arthur.io/art/dorothy-webster-hawksley.
