I have seen it reproduced so many times that I associated it with the National Gallery where there is the splendid "St Jerome in his Study".Patriciushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08906131174326742939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253865779660854699.post-86448271477518377612012-03-20T07:50:20.486+00:002012-03-20T07:50:20.486+00:00PS - And you're right, the Virgin Annunciate b...PS - And you're right, the Virgin Annunciate by Messina is lovely.

The original is a beauty. I don't see the point of the stripes, though!Patriciushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08906131174326742939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253865779660854699.post-52701380442570794132012-03-19T23:04:31.841+00:002012-03-19T23:04:31.841+00:00I think it is interesting how all of the tradition...I think it is interesting how all of the traditional fifteen mysteries of the Rosary can be summed up in a clear and recognisable image. Some years ago in a medieval church in Salisbury I saw the traces of some formerly lost wall paintings part of a cycle of which the first three and only surviving were, respectively, the Annunciation, the Visitation and the Nativity. It seems to beg the question: which came first- the pictures or the Rosary?Patriciushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08906131174326742939noreply@blogger.com
