DARREN CRISS - Just a normal day in New York! | September 19, 2024 | 🎥 Marcus Choi

i've been to a museum and have a new favourite painting! behold!

(it's a bit of a crap photo, sorry, but all of the official photos online are WORSE somehow 😶)

it's the Annunciation by Sandro Botticelli (he of the Birth of Venus, in all her claimshell glory). if you're searching for it you want the Cestello Annunciation, in the Uffizi Gallery, instead of any of the other times he painted the Annunciation. okay - context out of the way:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA[screaming excised for brevity]

so... we saw a LOT of annunciation paintings when looking in galleries today, it's a really popular subject. and the main thing that differentiated them for me were the different ways that Mary responds to the news of the baby jesus/virgin birth/whole shebang. we had peaceful marias, we had shocked marias, we had scared marias, we had marias who were tired of all of this angel shit and just wanted some peace and quiet. i'm distinctly not christian, but it isn't hard for me to put myself in her shoes and see the gravity and weight of this moment and find myself in her varied reactions it was all very... human.

in most of them, the archangel gabriel bringing the message is ambiently beatific at most? his presence is important but he feels more an Icon (in the traditional sense) than a character. and that's fine, it's not really about him

so can someone tell me why he's like this?

he carries good news, the promise of peace, but... look at him. he's unsure, hesitant. to me he seems Full of sorrow.

mary in this one gets to be calm, beatific and prepared. i am fully just projecting onto a centuries old painting but, she Knows what it is she will do and what will happen. maybe not in terms of the facts, but in terms of what it Means? she knows.

that seems to be the emotional role gabriel fills in most of them, and here? sorrow. he too knows what he is asking, and what it means, and he hesitates to ask that of someone. to them it will be for the ultimate good, but the pain of it is really centered through the one who must open that door.

i wonder why Botticelli chose to paint it like this? did he think or feel any of that? death of the author - it probably doesn't matter, but i think i'll carry that with me, wondering how heavy the heart of Botticelli's gabriel.

Edit: Okay this post is getting a LOT of traction. What is going on?

Edit: Fucking hell.

This post has set off a fucking MINEFIELD!!!

What have I DONE????!!!!!

I’ve lit the blue touch paper and found there’s nowhere to run to!

I’ve summoned a wolf only to unleash a tiger!!!!! Made of fire! And nails.

Probably….

Idk.

Edit 2: 5,000 Notes! Good god! What the HELL do you want from me. I’ve never had a post of mine take off like this until now.

Some got close like the one about homeowner associations (fucking powertripping middle aged mediocrities!) which got at least 1.5k notes but this is the most I’ve gotten on a single post so far.

Anyway.

AND this post has officially gone to hell. (6,666 notes)

Edit: 8,000 notes! Holy shit!

Edit: 9,000 notes!!!
