The Fogg Art Museum has just received an early fifteenth century Spanish "Annunciation," by the little-known master, Juan de Burges. The painting has been sent to the Museum as a permanent loan from a member of the Society of Friends of the Fogg Art Museum.
As a painting of the collection of Sir Charles Robinson, this "Annunciation" was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1880, at the Burlington Fine Arts Club in 1908, and at the Grafton Galleries, London, in 1913. It is enclosed in the original carved frame of elaborate Gothic design, which is preserved in all its beauty. The picture was discovered in Madrid about 1870, and is signed, beneath the figure of the Angel of the Annunciation on a cartellino, "Maestre ju de Burgos pitor."
