Praying the Angelus with Art: This Week's Image

I can't get enough of Renaissance Annunciations, even if this year I haven't found too many that haven't already been featured on this blog. Well, guess what? I just found a new source! So here we go, back to Renaissance Italy, one of my favorite art spots in the whole world.

You can see this Annunciation by Benedetto Bonfigli in full resolution glory on the website of the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza (Madrid) where the original is part of the collection.

The Annunciation, Benedetto Bonfigli ca. 1455

Tempera and gold on panel.

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.
