VITTORIA, Alessandro: Annunciation

🖼 Annunciation, 1578-88
Bronze
98 × 62 cm

Dramatic light floods the stone interior where Gabriel kneels before Mary, rendered in marble relief with precise anatomical detail. This Renaissance masterwork exemplifies Venetian sculpture's spiritual intensity and influenced Northern European religious art through its emotional immediacy.
