Description: | The emphasis Sandro Botticelli, one of the best known Renaissance artists, placed on linear qualities, sound draughtsmanship and a subtle balance of light and shadow in this small picture representing the Annunciation is typical of the Florentine school of painting about 1500, but it should not be reduced to an example of perspective construction. Following Saint Luke, chap. 1, the future Mother of God is represented in her study. With a vehement movement the angel is entering into the architectural structure. At the same moment the Madonna has risen to receive the ray symbolising the Annunciation. | Subjects: | figure; religion (Annunciation); interior | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Botticelli, Sandro (Italian painter and draftsman, born 1444 or 1445, died 1510) Æ Attributed to Botticelli, Sandro (Italian painter and draftsman, born 1444 or 1445, died 1510) and studio | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8811... | Go to resource |
