"Annuntiatie" is a 1710-1739 engraving by Louis Desplaces, a French artist born in 1682 and who died in 1739. This artwork depicts the Annunciation, a pivotal moment in Christian tradition where the Angel Gabriel appears to Mary and announces that she will bear the son of God. The scene is rendered in a Baroque style with dramatic lighting and movement, and showcases the artist's mastery of composition and detail.
