About the piece
Created around 1610 by Hans Rottenhammer, this oil on copper painting captures the moment of the Annunciation with a masterful sense of atmosphere. The dark, recessive background emphasizes the radiant figures of the Virgin Mary and the Angel Gabriel, while God the Father watches from a golden celestial glow above.
