O obrazu
Leaf Excised from a Psalter: The Annunciation, made around 1325–50, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. The scene of Mary receiving the announcement probably came from an English manuscript made near the time of the Black Death. Its parent volume contained the Bible’s 150 psalms. Such books served daily monastic worship and private prayer. Owners and dealers later separated many illuminated manuscripts to sell individual pictures at greater profit. This practice has left the original volume impossible to reconstruct from its dispersed parts.
Slovy muzea
This miniature of the Annunciation to Mary was taken from a psalter containing the 150 sacred songs or hymns from the Book of Psalms found in the Bible. Psalters were among the most popular books of the Middle Ages, used for daily church services in monasteries and for private devotion. The leaf from this liturgical manuscript probably came from England and was made around the time of the Black Death. In the past, manuscripts were often disassembled by owners and dealers to sell the single miniatures for a larger profit. Thus, the original cannot be reconstructed today.
