About the piece

This 18th-century Spanish painting captures the momentous Annunciation with characteristic Baroque intensity. The Virgin Mary is depicted in a moment of quiet devotion at her prie-dieu as the Archangel Gabriel descends on a cloud, while the Holy Spirit appears above as a dove in a radiant burst of light surrounded by cherubim.
