The Angel and the Virgin: A Brief History of the Annunciation A
display selected from the Museum’s collection by the artist,
writer and print historian Lino Mannocci, whose own work can be
seen in the exhibition Clouds and Myths: Monotypes by Lino
Mannocci. Illuminating the different ways in which artists have
depicted the Annunciation - the revelation of the Angel Gabriel
to Mary that she would conceive a child who was the son of God -
this selection unites a range of old master prints from the
fifteenth to seventeenth centuries with a select group of
manuscripts, enamels and ceramics. At the exhibition’s centre is
the Annunciation panel by Domenico Veneziano, a source of
inspiration for Mannocci’s own work. Tue 9 February 2010 to Sun
