Framed Print of Annunciation or Angelic Salutation
Annunciation or Angelic Salutation, limewood sculptures by Veit Stoss, 1518, church of St. Lorenz, Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany Angelic Salutation (German: Engelsgruß) is an assemblage of limewood sculptures celebrating the Annunciation by the German artist Veit Stoss in 1518. It was created for the medieval church of St. Lorenz in Nuremberg, southern Germany, where it hangs on a metal chain in the center of the choir facing the high altar. It was commissioned in 1517 by the German merchant, city councillor and treasurer Anton Tucher as a devotional centerpiece for those reciting the rosary or other Marian devotions.[1] Tucher employed Albrecht Dürer to review the quality of the piece before final payment was determined and made to Stoss.[2] The work shows the Virgin Mary and Archangel Gabriel surrounded by a series of small angels, many of whom are ringing bells in celebration or joyfully playing musical instruments. The statues are suspended within the encircling frame of a wreath of roses embedded with seven medallions illustrating scenes from both the Life of the Virgin and Life of Christ. © B.O'Kane
