The Annunciation
1426 -AD
Fra Angelico
Italian Painter
1387 – 1455
Fra Angelico created many paintings of The Annunciation. This painting is hanging in the Prado Museum in Italy. Fra Angelico painting the story from the gospel of Luke when the Angel Gabriel visits Mary and announces to her that she will conceive and bear a son and she will name him Jesus.
This painting was intended as an alter piece and the small paintings at the bottom depict several scenes in the life of Mary and Jesus
If you enjoy puzzles and have a few minutes I found an online puzzle of The Annunciation. It is easy and most enjoyable and I hope you will give it a try.
Thank you Maureen. I always learn so much, in just the right size nuggets. Hope you have a really wonderful Christmas!
