| Title: | Annunciation - Predella panel from the Maesta Altarpiece of Siena |
|---|
| Notes: | "The whole predella is a realisation of the biblical idea of history, driven not by human causality but by divine providence. So the divine messenger, Gabriel, sets the series going. And next comes Mary, whose perplexity can only be solved by her assent to the divine plan announced by Gabriel and by the unrolling of her destiny...So her finger points to the prophet Isaiah who holds the "original" text which she has been reading in her Bible." [from: pp. 45-46, John Drury, Painting the Word: Christian Pictures and their Meaning. New Haven: Yale Univ. Press, 1999.] |
