Annunciazione 

This painting titled "Annunciazione" by Francesco Botticini, a Florentine painter, depicts the Annunciation. In the scene, the angel Gabriel appears to the Virgin Mary, who is reading, and announces that she will give birth to Jesus. The composition emphasizes the separation between the two figures, with a large column dividing them, though their postures are similar. The architectural setting creates a sense of formality and grandeur, typical of early Renaissance art. This work was likely commissioned by a private patron, reflecting the growing importance of individual patrons in Florentine art during the 15th century.
