The Annunciation by Jan Van Eyck
Loading...
Uploaded by Artzineonline on Jan 26, 2009
Van Eyck is considered one of the greatest painters of any period. Advances in oil techniques helped him paint the physical world in minute detail and with a degree of realism never before possible. It was said he knew fabrics like a weaver, buildings like an architect, and plants like a botanist. Here it is hard to believe that the angel's gleaming brocade is yellow pigment, not true gold, "woven" with brushstrokes, not threads. In this painting Gabriel announces to Mary that she will bear the son of God. She modestly draws back and responds, "Behold the handmaiden of the Lord."

To pollute this masterpiece with this crappy CRAPPY music is almost blasphemous!
-
the music is bizarre and ruins appreciation of the details in this masterpiece
-
Greatest painter who ever lived.
-
you're kidding. Song by Leonard Cohen is not quite compatible to Annunciation.
-
@Artzineonline amen
-
Please, cut out the music!!!!! Truly horrible. If you have nothing sensible to say about this most wonderful painting, let it speak for itself.

I saw this at the National Gallery in DC last Thursday and it is a beauty.

Listening to the music again after having forgotten the whole thing.
Yes, of course, this music is disgusting for this art. But off by light years.
But isn´t it sad that people don´t know the difference from the most remote part of their superficial "culture" Some evangelists convinced me to attend their services but they could just NOT understand that the music was inappropriate. They wondered what must be wrong with me. Not only bad music, but LOUD BAD MUSIC:
God in a soft voice speaks.

Maybe not the best combo (painting and song) but don't let it getcha down. I like abstract art and I think I see what you want us to get from it. Nice job!

@njf1208 Love is not a victory march; it’s filled with agony and heartbreak but also magic and fulfillment. We are tempted to break the “vows” of relationships. Through the heartache of these tragedies we gain perspective on life. Real love is painful, it’s not a cry in the night, nor is it all bright lights. At times it can be a cold and broken hallelujah – but it’s still a hallelujah.
