DÜRER, Albrecht: Annunciation

🖼 Annunciation, 1526
Pen drawing
288 × 211 cm
Chantilly, France

Created late in the artist's career, the work showcases his characteristic fusion of meticulous draftsmanship with profound theological meaning, capturing the Virgin Mary's humble acceptance of the divine messenger Gabriel. Dürer's treatment reveals the influence of Italian Renaissance compositions while maintaining the introspective, emotionally charged quality distinctive to German religious art of the period.
