Annunciatie 1670 - 1691

"Annunciatie," an etching created by Nicolas Laigniel between 1670 and 1691, depicts the Annunciation, a pivotal moment in Christian tradition. The scene unfolds with a celestial backdrop, a divine light emanating from above, as an angel with outstretched wings presents a lily to the Virgin Mary. Mary, kneeling in prayer, receives the divine message with reverence. Laigniel masterfully uses light and shadow to convey the holy and transformative nature of the event. The etching's detailed lines, the dramatic composition, and the poignant moment captured make it a powerful piece of religious art.
