O arcanjo Gabriel anunciando o nascimento de Cristo

Lucas van Leyden Netherlandish
1520s
Not on view
Considerado por muitos o primeiro grande artista holandês, Lucas van Leyden consolidou sua reputação internacional quase que exclusivamente em seu trabalho como gravador. Este desenho, um dos trinta cuja autoria é atribuída a Lucas, é a mais recente adição à sua exígua coleção de obras. Complementa outro esboço, de dimensões e técnica similares, que se encontra no Kupferstichkabinett (Museu de Gravações e Desenhos) de Berlim e que representa a Virgem ouvindo com surpresa a mensagem do arcanjo. Em ambos os desenhos, Lucas expressou a monumentalidade das figuras com linhas e sombras, realizadas com listras paralelas ou entrecruzadas, criando um desenho de grande riqueza e requinte.
