The Virgin of the Annunciation: A Paradigm of Humility in Medieval Doctrine and Imagery
José María SALVADOR GONZÁLEZ
Original title: La Virgen de la Anunciación, un paradigma de humildad en la doctrina y la imagen de la Edad Media
Published in Emotions in the Ancient and Medieval Mediterranean World
Keywords: Annunciation, Humility, Iconography, Medieval Art, Patrology.
In recounting the event of the Annunciation, the Gospel of Luke describes the sublime lesson of humility given by the Virgin Mary by proclaiming herself the Lord’s slave while she received the announcement of her election as Mother of God. Such a moral stance soon became an outstanding example of modesty and obedience for all Christians, as it was showed by many Church Fathers, theologians and religious thinkers throughout the centuries. Our paper aims to highlight that this significant lesson of humility and submission by the Virgin, reported by the Gospel and frequently interpreted in patristics and theological sources, often reflected also in art works, as we try to put evident through the analysis of twelve medieval paintings.
