About the piece
Created by the renowned Spanish artist Alonso Cano around 1655, this oil painting depicts the pivotal biblical moment of the Annunciation. The work is a prime example of Spanish Baroque art, characterized by its deep shadows, luminous highlights, and the emotional grace of the Virgin Mary and Archangel Gabriel as they are bathed in divine light descending from a host of cherubim.
