archangel Gabriel and this is the scene where Gabriel tells Mary that she will be blessed with God’s son. The figures are both big and bulky; the detail to the folds in their clothing is very geometrical which makes the painting lose some of its realism. On the top right side of the painting you can see the baby Jesus zooming through the window to the womb of Mary, Campin did this because he wanted to capture the exact moment when the holy trio was unified. The association between Gabriel and…

His visual flare and focus on the setting as well as the subjects are all prevalent in every title I have seen, 7 Reeds for a Dress perhaps the most reminiscent of his future works.What seems to be the element that links all the documentaries together has less to do with visual style and more with Antonioni’s background and infatuation with his home country.
