Exhibition caption -
“The angel, who appears to have just landed with his beautiful many-hued wings, bows reverently before the future Mother of the Son of God. The scene originally targeted a very narrow audience because the first floor of the convent hosted the friars' dormitory, which explains the composition's simplicity compared to other versions.”

“Mary, looking very young and humble, is astonished by the angel's announcement but at the same time she shows that she accepts the lofty duty to which she has been called by placing her joined hands on her belly.”

3/3 Awestruck #AdventAngels by Ward & Hughes, c1880s at Walsoken, Norfolk (though actually a suburb of the Cambridgeshire town of Wisbech).

'When peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendors fling,
and the whole world send back the song
which now the angels sing.'

2/3 Two 15th Century musical #AdventAngels at Cawston, Norfolk, one left handed, one right-handed.

'Still through the cloven skies they come
with peaceful wings unfurled,
and still their heavenly music floats
o'er all the weary world'

2/3 An adoring angel, by Clayton & Bell perhaps? for #AdventAngels at Langham, Essex, one of the few placenames you can find in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk. There isn't one in Cambridgeshire, though there is one not far off in Rutland.

Three gorgeous angels by Henry Holiday, 1920 at Ormesby St Michael, Norfolk for #AdventAngels.

'It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold'

It's the last day of Advent today, so a cavalcade of #AdventAngels. Three angels perched in the eaves of the Bethlehem stable in 16th Century collected Rhenish glass at Weldon, Northamptonshire. The expression on their faces was a conventional way of showing awe. Spot the spider!

Perfect description from V&A:
The Angel of the Annunciation, oak, gilded and polychromed [92cm high]. The archangel Gabriel rests on his right knee with his left foot placed in front of his body; the right forearm is raised with the hand pointing upwards and the left arm is bent at the elbow in a right-angle. The head is slightly raised, the hair falls in ringlets and the angel wears a beaded headband with a gilded jewel above the centre of the forehead. He is clothed in the vestments of a priest, which retains much of the polychromy and gilding.

Archangel Gabriel, your work is done.

Rare and wonderful Angel of the Annunciation: oak, gilded and polychromed, 1415-1450 Northern France.
Sweetly smiling in earlier style of sculptures eg at Reims, points up to God or Holy Spirit, probably held scroll in left hand.

3 in 1 for festive season.
At Cattedrale di San Zeno in Pistoia, Tuscany, Andrea della Robbia's remarkably small entrance makes a big impression: 1504 archivolt + portal features Virgin+child w host of angels in façade that was reconstructed 14-15th C.

Only when you have the language for it
can you imagine it. Only when you can imagine it
can you know that it is real:
the angel alight with glory walking
among the shepherds half asleep in their watching.

Wendell Berry
