B01: New Testament - Childhood and youth of Christ - Annunciation

Image Source: digital photograph taken 1 June 2023 by BSI

B01: New Testament - Childhood and youth of Christ - Annunciation - Mary seated on throne - Grabriel approaches from right

on the south side of the font; Gabriel approaches the seated Mary from her right - they are both reading a scroll which extends across Mary's lap. The absence of a divine source in the Semi-Byzantios composition can be accounted for by the emphasis on the dialogue, the manner in which Gabriel holds an unrolled scroll before the Virgin Mary.

Font Notes: Click to view

Described and illustrated in Sveriges kyrkor: Gotland (Bd. V, hft. 2: 215-221) as a sandstone cylindrical mounted baptismal font ornamented with scenes from the childhood of Christ, raised on a conical pedestal base. The font has been attributed to the Semi-Byzantios workshop and dated to the end of the 12th century by Roosval. In Stenström (1975). In Svannerg (1995). Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 910822F3] as a baptismal font made of sandstone by Semi-Byzantios in the second half of the 12th century. The basin sides are ornamented with an arcade of round arches resting on low columns; some of these columns have monster/lion head capitals, while the spandrels contain foliage motifs, angels, snakes, etc. ; the scenes contained in these arches are [unusually R-->L]: 1)Flight to Egypt: Joseph on foot, Mary and the Child on horseback, all three haloed and moving towards the left; 2)Dream of Joseph (Matthew II:13): an angel, winged and haloed, stands on the right holding the left end of a long scroll, while Joseph, haloed and seated, on the right, has the other end of the scroll over his knees and points his finger to the angel; 3)Nativity: in the forefront, Mary lies in bed, her haloed head to the left; in the background, at the centre, the cradle with the Child, haloed head to the left; above and behind it, to the left, the ox, the star of Bethlehem between its horns; to the right, the mule; 4)Visitation: the two haloed female figures embrace in the centre, standing on a building, with towers rising to the level of their heads on either side; 5)Annunciation: an acanthus plant/tree on the left; Mary, haloed, in the centre, facing right towards Gabriel; Gabriel, also haloed, stands on the right facing left towards Mary, both wearing rich mantles; 6) Dream of the Magi: the three Magi, haloed heads on the right side, lie in bed, covered by a spread the folds of which reach the ground; above, in the round of the arch, striated forms represent the clouds out of which a haloed angel appears pointing its hand towards the heads of the Magi; 7-8)Adoration of the Magi over two arches; the first arch contains two crowned -but not haloed- Magi carrying gifts and walking towards the right; the second arch has the remaining Magi -crowned but not haloed- kneeling by the Madonna and Child -both haloed- on the left, offering his gift. The underbowl has a scalloped pattern all around. The conical pedestal base has four protruding heads at 90-degree angles; three of them are animal: a lion, another lion (?) with prey in its jaws, a goat or ram; the fourth head has long plaited hair and could be either male or female, the repainting not helping much in the identification. The lower part of the base consists of two plain cylindrical volumes. On-site notes: this font is in excellent condition. The pictorial program was sequentially carved from the "right to the left". The assigned sequence in BSI reflects a "left to right" reading. Nordström (1984) identifies two Annunciation scenes, probably referring to the Annunciation proper and to the Dream of Joseph. Many areas of the font are still coloured. The repainting has changed some of the images. The underside of the font is decorated with a scalloped motif. A modern two-stepped plinth raises the original base.
