The Annunciation of Anna |
||||||||
|
||||||||
| Joachim's wife, Anna is extremely worried when her husband does not return from the temple. While she weeps over her husband's absence, an angel appears and announces that she will bear a child who is to be named Mary. Giotto has created an authentic atmosphere in the room by using such elements as a trousseau chest, a cassone, and the utensils on the wall. The separation of husband and wife is essential to the narrative: only now while she is alone can the angel appear. | ||||||||
