About this painting
Four narrow panels, one landscape behind all four; it continues, darker, across the painted frames. Left to right: Francis with a gold cross, the wounds red at hands, feet and ribs; Gabriel with a white lily; the Virgin at her book; a bishop in a white mitre with a curled staff.
The bishop changed names. In its catalogues from 1959 to 1985 the Gallery printed him as Saint Maurelius, Ferrara's patron saint; he is now Louis of Toulouse, the prince who took Franciscan vows days before he became a bishop. That puts a Franciscan at each end of the greeting.

And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
