About this work
The angel Gabriel announces to Mary that she will become pregnant. Mary is kneeling by a bed, on which lies an open book. The Holy Spirit descends as a dove. In the background, Joseph is chopping wood. This print is part of a series on the eight Beatitudes of Christ and illustrates the Beatitude: Blessed are the pure in heart. In the bottom right corner, this text from Matt. 5:8 in Latin. In the lower margin, a verse in Latin about the Beatitude and the image. This print is part of an album.
