Summary

Description
English: Hours of the Virgin

The Annunciation, Folio 30r

"Angel Gabriel brings the news that the Virgin will bear the Son of God, and the Virgin, kneeling at a shrine, reacts with modest introspection. The scene takes place in an interior barrel-vaulted space divided by a central column. Above, God the Father stands in a balcony supported by a caryatid, and at this moment of incarnation sends down the dove of the Holy Spirit, who hovers above the Virgin’s halo. The border on this page is unlike any other in the manuscript, and is heavily painted with foliate scrolls inhabited by prophets, musical angels, and putti, as well as the coat of arms of Jean de Berry and his emblems: bears and swans."
