About the piece
Created around 1623 by Orazio Gentileschi, this masterpiece exemplifies the dramatic lighting and intense color of the Baroque era. The composition focuses on the intimate moment between the Virgin Mary and the Angel Gabriel, set against a deep red backdrop that emphasizes the brilliant lapis blue of Mary's robes.
