About the piece
Painted in 1655 by Salomon Koninck, this striking work depicts The Annunciation with the dramatic chiaroscuro characteristic of the Rembrandt school. A radiant angel descends from the clouds, illuminating a startled Mary in her quiet, scholarly chamber, creating a powerful contrast between the divine and the domestic.
