Spanish school; late sixteenth century. "The angel St. Gabriel before Zechariah". Oil on panel. Cradled. It presents restorations in the pictorial surface. Measurements: 72 x 43 cm. The passage of this scene is narrated in (Lk 1, 8-13). "Zechariah was a priest who lived when Herod the Great was king of the Jews. He served in the temple with the group of Abijah the priest. His wife's name was Elizabeth and she was a descendant of Aaron the priest. Elizabeth and Zechariah were very good and obeyed all of God's commandments. They had no children, for Elizabeth had not been able to become pregnant, and besides, they were both very old. One day, it was the turn of Zechariah's group of priests to serve God in the temple. The priests used to appoint one of the group to go into the temple of God and burn incense on the altar. This time it was Zechariah's turn to go in and burn the incense, while the people stood outside praying. Suddenly, an angel of God appeared to Zechariah on the right side of the altar. When Zechariah saw the angel, he was very afraid and did not know what to do. But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayers. Your wife Elizabeth will have a son, and you will name him John. 14 His birth will make you very happy, and many will also rejoice. 15 Your son will be very important before God. He will not drink wine or beer, and the Holy Spirit will be with him before he is born. This child will cause many in Israel to stop doing evil and obey God. He will come before the Messiah, and he will have the same power and spirit that the prophet Elijah had before him. His message will cause parents to reconcile with their children, and the disobedient to understand their error and follow the example of those who obey. It will also prepare the people of Israel to receive the Messiah. Zechariah said to the angel, "My wife and I are very old; how will I know that everything will happen as you say? The angel replied, "I am Gabriel, God's special helper. He sent me to tell you this good news. But since you did not believe me, you will not be able to speak until what I told you happens. All the people stood outside, waiting for Zechariah, and wondered why he did not come out of the temple. When Zechariah came out, he could not speak and only waved his hands. Then the people understood that Zechariah had had a vision. At the end of his shift at the temple, Zechariah returned home. Shortly afterward, his wife became pregnant; and for five months he did not leave the house, for he thought, "God has done this with me so that people will no longer despise me!" It presents restorations in the pictorial surface.
