A Anunciação

Hans Memling Netherlandish
1480–89
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 953
Memling modelou esta Anunciação na ala esquerda do Retábulo da santa Columba de Rogier van der Weyden, agora conservado em Munique, mas sua rendição inovadora substituiu a Virgem de joelhos por uma Virgem desmaiando sustentada por dois anjos. Da mesma forma que outros pintores flamengos do século XV, Memling representa imagens religiosas com linguagem pictórica da vida cotidiana. Os lírios simbolizam a pureza da Virgem e o candelabro vazio, sua iminente função de portadora de Cristo, luz do mundo. O manto sacerdotal do Arcanjo Gabriel faz alusão ao ritual da missa e, portanto, à encarnação de Cristo. A pomba do Espírito Santo indica que a Encarnação ocorreu, conforme previsto pelas Sagradas Escrituras, razão pela qual a Virgem faz um gesto com a mão esquerda.
