Note: This scene from the Annunciation, executed by a Brabant workshop around 1520, was probably part of an altarpiece dedicated to the Life of the Virgin or of Christ. The two figures are housed in an interior that is still mostly in the Gothic tradition, inspired by the works of Jan van Eyck (Virgin and Angel of the Annunciation, painted panels of the Ghent altarpiece, 1432, Saint Bavo Cathedral, Ghent) and Rogier van der Weyden (1400- 1464) (cf Atelier de Rogier Van der Weyden, L'Annonciation, oil on wood, ca. 1440, Paris, Louvre Museum). The contextualisation of the scene and the illusion of depth are in fact skilfully produced by the progressive size of the thickness of the alabaster plate and by the presence of the canopy bed and the lectern. This composition was used from the end of the 15th century in the monumental altarpieces made by the Brabantine workshops (Altarpiece of the Virgin known as de Saluces, c. 1500-1510, Brussels, Musée de la Vil
