About the piece
This 1857 work by Edward Burne-Jones is a quintessential example of the Pre-Raphaelite style, emphasizing intricate detail and medieval-inspired symbolism. The composition illustrates the Annunciation with a unique symbolic tension, featuring a serpent coiled around an apple tree between Mary and the Angel Gabriel. The use of gouache and watercolor creates a luminous, tapestry-like effect that brings the sacred narrative to life.
