- Abstract
This article¹ seeks to interpret the representation of Mary’s house shaped like a palace in some images of the Annunciation from an iconographic point of view, in the light of Greek Patrology, I start by analyzing some texts used by many Greek-Eastern Fathers to interpret several expressions such as domus Sapientiae, palatium Regis, aula regia, domicilium Trinitatis, and other similar terms alluding to some sumptuous dwelling reserved for God or the king. Taking these textual findings into account, I then analyze seven 15th-century Annunciations in which Mary’s house in Nazareth is represented as a palace or a magnificent building. From the comparative analysis between these texts and these images, I conclude that the house of Mary depicted like a palace in pictures of the Annunciation symbolizes the supernatural incarnation of God the Son in Mary’s womb, as well as Mary’s virginal divine motherhood.
