The Annunciation

myminifactory

The sculpture represents the kneeling Virgin Mary receiving a message from the archangel Gabriel: she will give birth to the Son of God. The focus is on Mary’s face. Her body shows that she is present in the moment, concentrating on the message. The Annunciation was the first work by a female sculptor purchased by Nationalmuseum. The sculpture was very popular and has often been reproduced. It sits on its original base of Italian yellow marble.   These 3D scans have been produced with an Artec Eva with the ambition to produce a digital representation as close to the original as possible. However, the presented scans are not to be regarded as duplicates as due to inaccessible areas etc deviations from the original might occur Photography : CC BY SA Linn Ahlgren / Nationalmuseum ; CC BY SA Nationalmuseum
