EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable altarpiece titled "Annunciation Virgin Mary center image column" by Jacob de Wit. Created in 1723, this masterpiece was specifically made for the chapel in the Maagdenhuis on the Spui in Amsterdam. The scene depicted is none other than the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary. At its core, we see a majestic column with an open book held by a reader, symbolizing knowledge and wisdom. To the left of it stands Maria, while on the right kneels an angel delivering divine news to Mary. Above them, amidst heavenly clouds, two adorable putti accompany a radiant pigeon that emanates light. The central focus lies on Mary herself; usually portrayed reading when visited by an angel. This particular representation captures her serene expression as she receives this life-altering message. It's said that sometimes another woman overhears their conversation, adding depth and intrigue to this sacred encounter. Jacob de Wit skillfully employed oil paint on canvas to bring this spiritual moment to life. The dimensions of this artwork are truly impressive: 207 cm in height, 166 cm in width, and 8 cm deep (with a frame measuring 31 cm). This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of De Wit's artistry and transports us back to a time where faith and devotion were beautifully captured through visual storytelling.
