HANS MEMLING. The Annunciation

The Annunciation. Artist: Hans Memling (Netherlandish, Seligenstadt, active by 1465-died 1494 Bruges). Dimensions: 73 1/4 x 45 1/4 in. (186.1 x 114.9 cm). Date: ca. 1465-70.
One of the largest surviving depictions of the Annunciation, this imposing painting was most likely commissioned by Ferry de Clugny, whose family coat of arms--the two joined keys--decorates the carpet and stained-glass window. In 1465, Ferry founded the Chapelle Dorée as his burial site in the Saint-Lazare cathedral at Autun and lavishly decorated it with artworks, probably including this panel. The composition is based on a design by Rogier van der Weyden. Possibly commissioned before his death in 1464, it was painted by Memling, who, technical evidence suggests, was a journeyman in Rogier's workshop before establishing himself in Bruges in 1465.
