Question

How did the artists convey that the angel Gabriel is speaking to Mary in the Annunciation by Simone Martini and Lippo Memmi?

A. They included iconographic details that symbolize Gabriel’s message.
B. They placed the figures in a conversational pose.
C. They incised scriptural text into the gold-leaf gesso.
D. They referenced the chapter and verse from Luke in the framework.

Answer 1

The answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you read the question, it is asking how you know the Gabriel is speaking to Mary. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is B.

A would only let you know what the message is

C would only let you know that it is depicting something from the bible.

D just makes no sense.
