关于这件雕塑
Annunciation is a bronze relief of the Annunciation by Alessandro Vittoria, created c. 1583. It is now in the Art Institute of Chicago. Produced using the lost wax method, it was commissioned by Hans Fugger for his family chapel at Schloss Kirchheim in Swabia. It remained in the Fugger family collection until 1908 and was bought by its present owner in 1942.
博物馆的介绍
Alessandro Vittoria translated into bronze the flickering light of Venetian Renaissance paintings. Working in wax (from which the finished bronze was then cast), he manipulated this relief’s form and edges to catch the light. The result is a highly animated surface in which everything—figures, drapery, clouds, and sky—seems to move with excitement, heightening the drama between the startled Virgin Mary and the archangel Gabriel, who has descended from heaven to announce that Mary will bear the son of God. Fully sculpted in the round, the archangel’s arm points to the smallest feature in the scene: a dove, representing the Holy Spirit of the Christian Trinity.
This sculpture was commissioned by Hans Fugger, a member of a prominent Augsburg banking family, to decorate an altarpiece for the chapel of his family’s castle in Kirchheim in the Swabia region of Germany.
