1525 Oil on oak panel, 99 x 33 cm (each) Groeninge Museum, Bruges The Mannerist tendency in the old duchy of Brabant (Antwerp-Brussels), had some points of contact with the more sedate Bruges style. It is not always clear, however, whether a particular work was painted by Bruges masters who had settled in Antwerp or in Bruges itself. Alongside the pure Antwerp and Bruges styles, a kind of Bruges-Antwerp fusion can be distinguished, symbolizing the growing attraction of the rising metropolis. The wings with the Annunciation and Visitation are examples of this mixed style. , Artist: UNKNOWN MASTER, Flemish , Annunciation and Visitation , 1501-1550 , Flemish , painting , religious |
