The Annunciation. Artist: Attributed to Petrus Christus (Netherlandish, Baarle-Hertog (Baerle-Duc), active by 1444-died 1475/76 Bruges). Dimensions: Overall 31 x 25 7/8 in. (78.7 x 65.7 cm); painted surface 30 1/2 x 25 1/4 in. (77.5 x 64.1 cm). Date: ca. 1450.This Annunciation is exceptional for its bird's-eye view and outdoor setting. Sheltered in the doorway of a church and greeted by Gabriel, Mary is presented not only as the recipient of the message of the Incarnation, but also as the personification of the Church (<i>Ecclesia</i>). The architecture, which is part Romanesque (right) and part Gothic (left), refers to the coming of Christ and the transition from Judaism to Christianity. A fragment of a larger composition, the picture is notable for its meticulous observation of plant life and was formerly ascribed to Van Eyck. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
