Über die Skulptur
No one knows exactly where this relief came from. It was probably part of a group in a tabernacle (a small niche) or of an altarpiece showing the Annunciation. This is the name used to describe how the angel Gabriel 'announced' to the Virgin Mary that she would give birth to Jesus.
The relief belongs to a small group of alabaster sculptures that were probably made around 1440-1460 in the Southern Netherlands. A sculptor known only as the Rimini Master and his workshop had produced alabaster sculptures in the same region in the years around 1430. The sculptors who carved this later group developed the style of the Rimini Master and added new features. They used a softer style to carve the draperies and made the faces look more natural and realistic.
