Tapeçaria da Anunciação

ca. 1410–20
Not on view
Sentada em uma elegante sala, a Virgem Maria levanta a vista de seu livro no atril ao assustar-se com a entrada repentina do arcanjo Gabriel que segura uma bandeira com as palavras AVE GRATIA COMPLETA (Salve [Maria] cheia da graça). No céu, o Deus Pai envia na direção da Virgem o Menino Jesus, que segura uma cruz e é precedido pela pomba do Espírito Santo. Ambos descem até o ouvido da Virgem, já que acreditava-se que este tinha sido o canal da concepção. O jardim fechado significa a virgindade de Maria e o lírio branco em um frasco de louça decorada simboliza sua pureza.
