Description
Español: La obra, titulada La Anunciación representa el momento en que el Arcángel San Gabriel anunció a la Virgen María que sería la madre de Jesucristo, el Mesías. Es una simplificación de la que realizó años antes para el Colegio de Doña María de Aragón. Sobre un fondo neutro coloca a las dos figuras principales de la escena, el arcángel en el lado izquierdo adaptándose a la curvatura del lienzo y la Virgen a la derecha sorprendida mientras oraba. Como eje de la composición se encuentra el atril y la paloma del Espíritu Santo que baja con toda su gloria y se convierte en foco iluminador de la escena. Encontramos en esta peculiar composición una diagonal marcada por los ojos de los protagonistas y la paloma simbólica.

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1614, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1931.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
