The composition follows the conventions of the International Gothic style, common in Catalonia during the mid-fifteenth century. The figures are arranged within a domestic setting, yet the background is dominated by a flat, decorative gold-leaf surface, a characteristic feature of the period that emphasises the spiritual nature of the event over physical realism.\n\nGabriel, positioned on the left, wears elaborate robes and gestures towards the heavens, while Mary sits on the right, her hands clasped in prayer. She is dressed in a dark mantle adorned with a repeating crown motif. Between them, a vase holds a lily, a traditional symbol of purity. A scroll unfurls across the centre, bearing the Latin text of the angelic salutation. Above, three small angels are depicted, adding to the celestial atmosphere of the scene. The floor is covered in a geometric tile pattern, providing a sense of perspective that contrasts with the gilded, non-representational background.\n\nFerrer the Younger was active in the Lérida region of Catalonia. His work reflects the influence of both local traditions and the broader European Gothic aesthetic. The attention to detail in the textiles, the precise rendering of the facial features, and the use of gilding demonstrate the technical skill required for such altarpiece panels. This print captures the texture of the original tempera paint and the reflective quality of the gold leaf, offering a clear view of the stylistic choices made by the artist to convey religious narrative through symbolic imagery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jaume Ferrer II","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57905835016527,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57905847533903,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57905847566671,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57905847599439,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57905847632207,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Annunciation_Poster_CompositorV1_1781288048064.jpg?v=1781320019","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/the-annunciation-jaume-ferrer-the-younger","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
