Abstract (en)
Studies the style and iconography of the mural painting of the Annunciation with the prophets Moses, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel, in the western apse of the church of al-'Adra' in Dair al-Suryan, lower Egypt. It was discovered after a fire (1988) damaged the mural of ca.1250 which covered it. Discusses the crucial role of late antique Palestinian precedents, 6th-8th cs.; dates the fresco to the 8th or early 9th c.; and concludes that its high quality is cause for a reevaluation of Coptic mural painting.
