The Annunciation
Carl Heinrich Bloch, 1865
In 1865, Carl Heinrich Bloch accepted a commission to create twenty-three paintings depicting the life of Jesus Christ. The works, rendered in oil on copper, took fourteen years to complete. In the King’s Oratory within the Frederiksborg Castle, they still reside there today. Significantly, The Annunciation was the first painting completed for the oratory. As the Christian saga unfolds, the angel Gabriel proclaims to the Virgin Mary that she is the mother of the Savior of the World.
