18th-19th Century Madonna Mary and Angel Annunciation Portrait Miniature Box

About the Item

This is a wonderful and rare 18th to 19th Century Antique Box with an extraordinary hand painted portrait miniature of the Annunciation with Mary and the Angel Gabriel. It depicts the angel Gabriel announcing to Mary that she would conceive miraculously and give birth to a son to be named Jesus and called "the Son of God", whose reign would never end. The subject of the annunciation was very popular for contemporaneous artworks painted in Christian countries such as Italy and had been depicted many times in Florentine art, including several examples by the Early Renaissance painter Fra Angelico. The portrait miniature is of the highest quality. The faces of the Madonna and Angel are exquisite. The Madonna wear the colors of the Renaissance, with her beautiful blue and red robes. Her veil is stunning. The angel bears diaphanous wings and a sash. We do not see a signature on the painting. The miniature is the work of a master. the box is a wonderful wooden box. The box is 3 1/2 inches (9 cm) long and 2 1/2 inches (6 cm) wide. It is 3/4 inch (2 cm) tall.
