Fotoreproductie van een gravure van de Annunciatie door Schelte Adamsz. Bolswert, naar het schilderij door Peter Paul Rubens before 1858

This photo reproduction of an engraving by Schelte Adamsz. Bolswert, after a painting by Peter Paul Rubens, depicts the Annunciation. The scene shows the Angel Gabriel kneeling before the Virgin Mary, who is seated and appears to be in shock at the revelation that she will bear the Son of God. Jean Louis Bargignac, a 19th-century French artist, created this photo reproduction before 1858. Bargignac is known for his photo reproductions, often featuring religious subjects. This image would have appealed to a general audience, particularly those interested in religious art and the work of Rubens. The photo reproduction's grainy texture gives the viewer a glimpse into the history of printing techniques.
