GHIRLANDAIO, Domenico: Annunciation

🖼 Annunciation, 1486-90
Fresco
Florence, Italy

Soft light floods the loggia as Gabriel kneels before Mary, their figures separated by elegant Renaissance architecture and flowering garden. Ghirlandaio transforms sacred narrative into intimate domestic scene, blending spiritual revelation with Florentine humanism and meticulous detail.
