Annunciation

annunciation-1621 Guido Reni

How lovely is this? The beautiful Mary is being told by Gabriel about the baby she conceive. Although the angel appears a little feminine, Gabriel was indeed the messenger and a lot of the se paintings tend to soften the features and give some curls.

This is by Italian artist Gido Reni and is from 1621. Join me this month for more angels.
