Tapiz de la Anunciación

ca. 1410–20
Not on view
Sentada en una elegante estancia, la Virgen María levanta la vista del libro en el atril, sobresaltada por la súbita entrada del arcángel Gabriel que sostiene una banderola con las palabras AVE GRATIA PLENA (Ave [María] llena de gracia). En el cielo, el Dios Padre envía hacia la Virgen al Niño Jesús, que sostiene una cruz y está precedido por la paloma del Espíritu Santo. Ambos descienden hacia la oreja de la Virgen, ya que se creía que este había sido el conducto de la concepción. El jardín cerrado significa la virginidad de María, y el lirio blanco en una jarra de loza decorada simboliza su pureza.
