About the piece
Created in 1610 by Luis Lagarto, this exquisite watercolor on vellum captures the Annunciation with the jewel-like precision of an illuminated manuscript. The composition is masterfully framed by classical columns, depicting the Archangel Gabriel’s message to Mary beneath radiant heavens filled with God the Father and a host of cherubim. This work represents a pinnacle of Spanish colonial artistry from New Spain.
