About the piece
This 1650 oil painting by Flemish artist Jan Janssens captures the profound moment of the Annunciation. Painted in the Caravaggesque tradition, the work features dramatic chiaroscuro that highlights the intricate folds of the angel's robes and the serene expression of the Virgin Mary as the Holy Spirit descends.
