The artwork entitled “Annunciation” was created by Sandro Botticelli in 1481. It belongs to the Early Renaissance art movement and is a religious painting with dimensions of 243 x 550 cm.
The artwork depicts the biblical scene of the Annunciation, where the Archangel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus Christ. The scene is divided into two parts. On the left, the angel Gabriel, adorned with flowing robes and wings, approaches Mary, who is situated inside a building on the right side. The interior is adorned with intricate detailing, including columns with ornamental designs and a richly decorated canopy bed. Mary is shown in a contemplative pose, indicating her acceptance of the divine message. The atmosphere conveys a sense of reverence and divine intervention, characteristic of the religious themes prominent in Early Renaissance art.
