Harald Slott-Møller (b. Copenhagen 1864, d. s.p. 1937)
The Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Signed Harald Slott-Møller. Oil on canvas laid on canvas. 52×64 cm.
Study for painting in Herlufsholm Church, Næstved, dated 1929. The archangel Gabriel appears here in a sumptuous suit and Mary is in a black dress. The lawn with the blue flowers surrounded by a wall has become a courtyard where the Annunciation takes place.
Inspiration from early Italian Renaissance art is evident in this painting. It is also during this period that Harald Slott-Møller's interest in Christian art becomes evident.
