EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Second Annunciation" by Jean Fouquet, a renowned artist from the 15th century. The image is taken from the manuscript Livre d heures d'Etienne Chevalier and is currently held at the Musee Conde in Chantilly, France. The photograph was featured in Verve magazine in 1939. In this exquisite illustration, we witness a moment of divine communication between two figures. A winged angel kneels before a lady dressed in shades of blue and pink, representing the Virgin Mary. Bathed in soft light and surrounded by an opulent interior, they engage in prayerful worship. Fouquet's meticulous attention to detail is evident through his use of gold leaf embellishments that add depth and radiance to the scene. This piece exemplifies the Northern Renaissance style with its delicate brushwork and emphasis on naturalistic forms. "The Second Annunciation" transports us back to a time when religious devotion permeated every aspect of life. It serves as a testament to both Fouquet's artistic genius and his deep spiritual connection. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of the enduring power of faith and how art can transcend centuries, allowing us to connect with our shared cultural heritage.
