The paintings shown in
class caused me a big impression. I just thought they were beautiful, in fact,
I have always liked paintings. I have had the chance to visit great museums to
appreciate them. I will talk about a painting in particular that I like. I encourage you guys to try appreciate more at paintings because of their exquisiteness and significance that could demonstrate.
The famous painter, Leonardo Da Vinci drew this
painting in 1473-75. We can observe how the angel leans towards the Virgen
greeting her with his head down showing respect indicating her divine
pregnancy; on the other hand, Maria reacts gently to the Annunciation making a
gesture with her left hand while the other hand lean on the Bible. The
background is also striking, garden, mountains and the cloudy sky on one half
of the painting and building that gives a great contrast with Maria wearing a
beautiful long dress. The painting was taken to Uffizi in 1867, the monastery of San Bartolome de Monteoliveto near Florence. It was first attributed to Domenico Ghirlandaio until some critics in 1869 recognized him as an early work of Leonardo, when he was still an apprentice in the workshop of his teacher, Andrea Verrocchio.
