| The Angel and the Virgin of Annunciation - Bicci di Lorenzo - 1434 |
Perhaps, after the Crucifixion, the most painted event in the Gospel is the Annunciation. Mary's "yes" begins the turning of the tide for sinful humans. Her purity resonates here and the angel seems particularly eager to tell her of the event.
One of my favourites is this one following.
