In the corner areas around the central roundel are painted 'moresques', ornament derived from the decorative arts of the Islamic world with which Venice had long enjoyed trading links. Some of the gilded ornament lacks definition, because the paste-like moulded material (pastiglia) from which it is made has dried out and shrunk.\r\n\r\nThe central scene depicts the Annunciation of the Birth of Christ, derived from an unidentified Netherlandish original. Close examination shows that it has been enlarged around its circumference to fit the frame - in other words that two separate objects, both made in the 15th century, were joined together, probably during the second half of the 19th century, when there was an enthusiastic market for medieval and renaissance art works.","physicalDescription":"Panel of wood covered with gilt gesso; in the centre is a circular medallion with beaded outline, containing a representation of the Annunciation in relief, enriched with colours. This medallion is placed within a square of similar outline, and the spandrils thus formed are painted with leafy scrolls. On either side is a baluster-shaped column suporting an entablature consisting of a cornice above a frieze with floral ornament in relief; at the base of the columns is another frieze similarly decorated.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"wood","id":"AAT11914"},{"text":"gesso","id":"AAT14952"}],"techniques":[{"text":"painting (image-making)","id":"AAT54216"},{"text":"gilding","id":"AAT53789"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Gilt wood and moulded ornament, painted","categories":[{"text":"Religion","id":"THES48900"},{"text":"Frames","id":"THES48949"},{"text":"Woodwork","id":"THES48877"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"FWK","id":"THES48597"},"images":["2006AC9605","2006AC9636","2014HD0312"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"002","id":"THES303291"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Framed panel","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Netherlands","id":"x29020"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"possibly"},{"place":{"text":"Venice","id":"x29237"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"possibly"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1550","earliest":"1545-01-01","latest":"1554-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"42","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"36.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"6.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Panel and frame, Italian, 1580-1600, from the Peyre Collection, depicting the Annunciation; wood, with gilded gesso","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"Frame and panel probably joined together 1850-1890","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["512-1895"],"accessionNumberNum":"512","accessionNumberPrefix":"","accessionYear":1895,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-05-23","recordCreationDate":"2005-12-20","availableToBook":true}}
