Madonna of Loreta (Annunciation) 1507

"Madonna of Loreta (Annunciation)" is a painting created in 1507 by Pietro Perugino, a prominent Italian painter of the early Renaissance. The artwork portrays the Annunciation, a pivotal moment in Christian tradition where the Angel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will bear the Son of God. The scene unfolds in a serene garden setting, with a central focus on Mary and the Angel, symbolizing the divine message and its acceptance. Perugino's signature style, evident in the figures' graceful poses and the balanced composition, reflects the influence of his master, Perugino, and his own contribution to the artistic innovations of the High Renaissance.
