The Grove Encyclopedia of Medieval Art and Architecture WAY TO GO The Annunciation This and the painting to the right are believed to be the remaining components of a six-panel altarpiece. The large central panel is now preserved in Barcelona (Museu National d’Art de Catalunya). Ferrer collaborated with the painter Pere Garcia de Benavarri on this commission. Spanish works like these often feature elaborate treatment of the gold background, evident here in the exuberant raised decoration (called pastiglia) in the skies and the haloes, as well as other details. Here the Archangel Gabriel proclaims the Virgin’s destiny as the mother of Christ. Both The Annunciation and The Nativity were components of a large altarpiece probably dedicated to the Virgin.

Symbolism in Narrative: A Look at Bernat Martorell’s The Annunciation | CUJAH Theoharis Vouitsis Pictorial narratives serve to instruct and augment one’s understanding of a particular event. Religious themes, frequently expressed as pictorial narratives to inspire Christians, served well in climates of illiteracy and spoke to a visually stimulated crowd seeking religious instruction. Symbolism was employed, whether overtly or subtly, and was often used to relate far more than what could initially be seen. Bernat (or Bernando) Martorell was a Catalonian painter whose date of birth is speculated to be around the turn of the fifteenth century and who died in 1452 [1]. The faithful account of the coming birth of Jesus Christ was certainly not left to Martorell’s discretion. Scriptural narratives were seldom simple renderings of past events, as will be discovered through the exploration of Martorell’s The Annunciation. There are three noteworthy stylistic elements presented in Martorell’s The Annunciation. List of Illustrations Coming Soon Endnotes 1.
