Splendid Annunciation painted in oil on copper with extreme finesse in all details
The Divine Messenger blesses the Virgin with his right hand, while with his left hand he holds the lily, a symbol of purity, around which a spiral Cartouche carries the message "Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you"
The White Dove of the Holy Spirit, with a ray of light from Heaven, completes the Immaculate Conception of Mary. ------
The quality of this copper, painted with a light hand and first-rate painting technique, places it directly in the renowned workshop of the Flemish Master of Antwerp Frans Francken II, with the typical chromatic range of very bright colors combined with magnificent light effects. ----
The painting, despite its small size, is rich in details and stands out from similar works for an elaborate context with a very careful description of furnishings and architecture. ----
We emphasize the excellent state of conservation which allows a perfect reading of the work in every detail.
