Who was the bride in 16th century Catalonia who put her fine linens into this walnut chest? Did she choose the image of the Annunciation, or was it the giver's idea? Who made the original commission? The image raises so many questions! And only one answer has come to us: there was a woman in Spain who had this lovely image to inspire her life every time she opened the lid on what, without that art, might have been just another piece of furniture. What would she say "yes" to that day?
