Annunciation (Annunciazione), by Andrea del Sarto, 1528, 16th Century, oil on board, 96 x 189 cm
Whole artwork view. The theme of the Annunciation is represented as dumb dialogue between the Angel, kneeling on the left, his right hand raised in the blessing gesture, and the Virgin; she is surprise and opens his hands looking down as a sign of humble acceptance; the scene is framed by a dark blue cloth opening like a curtain; at the center of the stage there are a lily, a little flower pot and the booklet symbolizing the Holy Scriptures; on the right, behind Mary there is a white bed symbolizing her purity
