One piece of Renaissance artwork that's shown at this museum is titled "Archangel Gabriel; The Virgin Annunciate" painted by Gerard David. This artwork is a painting with oil paint, painted in 1510. With first looks at this painting, without look at the title I automatically felt that it was showing something that had to do with the word virgin. When I see the color white I automatically think about something that is pure. The color white now is still shown like in weddings to symbolize pureness. The dove in this painting also shows peace.
Another piece of artwork that is shown is title :"The Annunciation of the Death of The Virgin" painted by Samuel van Hoogstraten. This artwork was painted with oil in 1670. In this painting the Virgin Mary is shown and there is an angel behind her. With the word "Annunciation" meaning to announce, it seems like Mary is announcing her death to the angel behind her.
