# Annunciation Triptych [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [WEYDEN, Rogier van der]() - Date: 1401-1450 - Technique: Oil on oak panel, 86 x 92 cm \(central panel\), 87 x 36,5 cm \(each wing\) ## Commentary Annunciation Triptych c. 1440 Oil on oak panel, 86 x 92 cm \(central panel\), 87 x 36,5 cm \(each wing\) Musée du Louvre, Paris \(central\), Galleria Sabauda, Turin \(wings\) The central scene of the Annunciation takes place in a luxurious interior, depicted with convincing spatial feeling. The white lilies and glass carafe symbolize the purity of Mary. The fireplace is already out of use on March 25, Annunciation Day, and has a wooden cover over it. The donor in the left-hand wing \(the two wings may be by another hand\) was later entirely overpainted, and not very well. The right-hand wing shows the Visitation. ## Related artworks - [Abegg Triptych]() - [Annunciation]() - [Bladelin Triptych \(central panel\)]() - [Bladelin Triptych \(exterior\)]() - [Bladelin Triptych \(left wing\)]() - [Bladelin Triptych]() - [Bladelin Triptych \(right wing\)]() - [Braque Family Triptych \(central panel\)]() - [Braque Family Triptych \(closed\)]() - [Braque Family Triptych \(detail\)]() - [Braque Family Triptych \(left wing\)]() - [Braque Family Triptych]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
