"Virgin Annunciation" (1468) by Carlo Crivelli is a small-scale painting depicting the moment when the Angel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will bear the Son of God. Crivelli, a Venetian painter, is known for his meticulous detail, vibrant colors, and the use of perspective that creates a sense of depth. The painting's unusual shape and the intricate details of the architecture and Mary's clothing highlight his distinctive style. This small but impactful work exemplifies Crivelli's masterful ability to convey the sacred and the human within a single frame.
