This magnificent 17th-century Tuscan canvas depicts the apparition of the Archangel Gabriel before the Virgin to announce the Great Event of the Immaculate Conception. The Divine Messenger holds the lily, symbol of purity, in his right hand and points with his left to the white dove, the Holy Spirit, which with a ray of light accomplishes the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary.
The work presents the characteristics of the finest Tuscan Baroque painting, and takes us directly into the workshop of Pietro da Cortona with its typical vibrant colors in warm tones, always perfectly combined. The brushstrokes are vigorous, free from perfectionism, but extraordinarily effective in reproducing the scene with a remarkable visual effect. The author, undoubtedly endowed with a quick and precise hand, manages to depict the event in an excellent manner, so as to move the viewer and make them participate in an extremely pleasant context. This splendid depiction was one of the Master's most celebrated creations and was taken up by his workshop with great success, so much so that it became one of the symbolic images of the Annunciation. The condition of the painting allows us an optimal reading of the work with a perfectly preserved color scheme and an excellent result on the wall. The canvas is complete with its beautiful contemporary frame, lacquered in faux marble with gilded profiles and in excellent condition.
