Pair of panels with an Angel and the Annunciation

The Annunciation corresponds to a scene from the Bible in which the Archangel Gabriel announces to Mary that she will bear the son of God. This scene has a few codes of representation This scene has a few codes of representation which are respected here: the Archangel Gabriel is holding a branch of lilies which are a symbol of the Holy Trinity. Mary is depicted in her room which is not very richly furnished, contrary to later representations during the peak of the Italian Renaissance.《受胎告知》（Annunciation）对应圣经中的一幕场景：天使长加百利（Archangel Gabriel）向玛利亚宣告她将孕育天主之子。该场景存在若干约定俗成的表现范式，本作品严格遵循了这些范式：天使长加百利手持一枝百合花，该花是圣三位一体（Holy Trinity）的象征。玛利亚被描绘在一间陈设不甚考究的房间内，这与意大利文艺复兴鼎盛时期后续的同类表现作品形成鲜明反差。
