Just a painting of astonishing loveliness. The angel's wings, the expression on Mary's face, the grass in the courtyard and the trees beyond the fence: I could look at it all day. Thank you for yet another wonderful video!
This is my favorite representation of the Annunciation. Fra Angelico's work has some of the aspects of the old Byzantine art - such as the exaggerated size of the figures, and the beautiful, glittering wings of Gabriel - yet, also shows the artistic transformation to a more naturalistic 'Renaissance' look. And, oh! - those wings!
