About the piece
Painted in 1712 by Italian master Paolo de Matteis, this work is a superb example of Late Baroque art. The dynamic composition features the Angel Gabriel descending on a cloud to visit the Virgin Mary at her devotions, while the Holy Spirit radiates divine light from above, surrounded by playful cherubic figures and luminous clouds.
