LabelEmigrants from the Netherlands in the seventeenth century, the Duyckinck family established a dynasty of painters in New York who produced portraits and religious paintings for the Calvinist community of the Dutch Reformed Church. This Annunciation scene, based on an illustration from a 1744 Bible published in the Netherlands, is stylistically associated with the family’s artistic workshop.* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons. Although gallery locations on the website are updated regularly, there is no guarantee that this object will be on display on the day of your visit. |
