Dante Gabriel Rossetti's 1850 painting "The Annunciation" depicts the angel Gabriel delivering the news to the Virgin Mary that she will bear the son of God. The painting is a fine example of the Pre-Raphaelite style, characterized by its detailed realism and emphasis on symbolism. Rossetti's use of light and color emphasizes the solemnity of the moment, while the white lilies symbolize purity and the dove symbolizes the Holy Spirit. This artwork is housed at the Tate Britain in London.
