About the piece

Painted circa 1650 by Eustache Le Sueur, this French Baroque masterpiece captures the sacred moment of the Annunciation. The composition is marked by a sophisticated palette of lapis blue, gold, and soft pastels, with a masterful rendering of celestial light and graceful figures that epitomize the elegance of 17th-century Parisian classicism.
