Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) was a prominent Florentine Renaissance painter known for his graceful figures and mythological themes. His iconic works include “The Birth of Venus” and “Primavera”, showcasing elegant lines and a distinctive style that defined early Renaissance art.
Sandro Botticelli’s The Annunciation depicts the moment when the archangel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will be the mother of Jesus, set in a classicizing architectural interior with one-point perspective, creating an illusion of depth. Gabriel kneels before Mary, holding a stalk of lilies, symbolizing her purity. The painting features incised lines visible on its surface, showcasing Botticelli’s working method. It was likely commissioned for private devotional use.
