EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Giovanni Francesco da Rimini's masterpiece, "Cycle of the Life of the Virgin, Annunciation to Joachim" painted around 1445. The oil on poplar panel painting measures 59.3x29.8 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. In this particular scene from the larger altarpiece, we witness a profound moment as an angel appears before Joachim, a male shepherd with his flock of sheep. Clutching his walking stick and surrounded by nature's beauty, Joachim gazes in awe at Gabriel, who stands before him with a heavenly nimbus surrounding his head. The landscape is meticulously detailed, showcasing rolling hills and serene tranquility. A loyal dog accompanies Joachim while he listens attentively to Gabriel playing a flute-like instrument. This musical interlude adds an ethereal touch to the biblical scene. Meanwhile, Mary (Madonna) can be seen in the background holding her Bible close to her heart as she awaits her divine role in history. The composition exudes grace and spirituality as it captures this pivotal moment of annunciation. This remarkable photograph allows us to appreciate not only da Rimini's artistic skill but also provides insight into religious narratives that have shaped our cultural heritage for centuries.
