About the piece
This 1669 oil painting captures the pivotal moment of the Annunciation with masterful 17th-century technique. Illuminated by a celestial radiance from the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, the Archangel Gabriel kneels before the Virgin Mary, presenting lilies that symbolize purity. The composition is rich with Baroque details, from the sweeping pink drapery to the classical architectural setting and the delicate cherubim watching from above.
