This renaissance painting ‘The Virgin Annunciate’ by Antonello da Messina Is unusual in its calm serenity...
artists tend to show Mary almost scared out of her wits by the sudden appearance of the angel ...
But here we glimpse almost an indrawn breath...
a question perhaps in her raised hand ?
... the angel has disappeared, leaving only the pages of her book fluttering in the breeze...
