This large, finely painted miniature of an Annunciation was illuminated by the Master of the Ango Hours, the artist named after a manuscript, a Primer-Hours, ordered by the Ango family of Normandy to celebrate the birth of a daughter, Marie Ango, on January 31, 1515. The opulent Renaissance architectural frames are hallmarks of his style; and the profile cameo portraits the present border occur in other works by him. The Ango Master offers a continuation of the style of the School of Rouen exemplified by the Master of the Échevinage de Rouen in the 1480s followed by Robert Boyvin, who died in 1510. |
