GRECO, El: Annunciation

GRECO, El
🖼 Annunciation, 1568-70
Oil on panel
63 × 76 cm

Spiritual light floods the canvas as the Virgin recoils from Gabriel's celestial arrival, their figures elongated and suspended in divine space. El Greco's mystical vision transforms the Annunciation into an ecstatic encounter, defining Spanish Counter-Reformation art through otherworldly expressionism and emotional intensity.
