About the piece
Painted in 1629 by Hendrick ter Brugghen, this work is a quintessential example of the Utrecht Caravaggisti style. The composition captures the divine moment of the Annunciation with dramatic lighting, contrasting the ethereal wings and golden robes of the Archangel Gabriel against the serene and humble presence of the Virgin Mary.
