Spanish school; XVIII century. "Virgin of the Annunciation". Oil on canvas. Presents faults and Punctures. It has a period frame with Repainting. Measurements: 126 x 100 cm; 135 x 110 cm (frame). In this painting we see a Virgin of the Annunciation holding a book, with her head down in sign of humility and her hands crossed on her chest, indicating her submissive acceptance of the divine message. The figure is placed in the foreground, before a neutral and dark background, somewhat more illuminated behind the head, following a composition that is at the same time typical of contemporary portrait and devotional painting, which brings the image even closer to the viewer, seeking to move the soul of the faithful who prays before the image. Regarding the theme alluding to the Virgin of the Annunciation, the iconographic tradition includes a more narrative scene, in which the Archangel Gabriel appears to the Virgin, to tell her the news that she is pregnant. Normally the Virgin is placed behind an altar or table, where a book or white lilies, iconographic attributes associated with the Virgin, are usually placed. However, over the centuries the elements began to be reduced as can be seen in important works that collect the same iconography of the annunciation, based exclusively on the representation of the Virgin. It presents faults and Punctures.
