The Annunciation and The Nativity

Jaume Ferrer the Younger’s “The Annunciation and The Nativity” was painted around 1457. It uses oil, tempera, and gold on fir wood panel. The scene captures two biblical events in a single composition.

The panel measures 95.6 x 66 cm. The use of gold highlights the divine aspects of the narrative. The painting combines elements of Gothic and early Renaissance styles.

Ferrer the Younger worked in Catalonia during the mid-15th century. Little is known about his life, and few works are attributed to him with certainty.
