The Annunciation
Artist: Botticelli
c. 1485 - 92
Painting
This depiction of the Annunciation unfolds in a classicising architectural interior rendered with one-point perspective to create the illusion of depth, a technique achieved in early fifteenth-century Florence.
The Uffizi Gallery’s magnificent collection of his works includes many of his masterpieces.
The Annunciation to the Shepherds
Artist: Jules Bastien-Lepage
1875
Painting
The jury for the Prix de Rome award objected to this entry by Bastien-Lepage's because he chose to render the Annunciation at twilight when, according to historical accuracy, the Annunciation was a night scene.
This painting is oil on canvas and is in the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne
