"Annunciation"

Annunciation is a 1570 painting by the Greek artist of the Spanish Renaissance El Greco.  According to the art historian José Álvarez Lopera, it derives from an engraving by Jacopo Caraglio. It is one of the major works produced during the painter's time in Venice, showing the influence of Titian in the figuration of Mary and Tintoretto in its composition, and may be a sketch or composition linked to the Modena Triptych.

Doménikos Theotokópoulos, most widely known El Greco was a Greek painter, sculptor and architect of the Spanish Renaissance. The primacy of imagination and intuition over the subjective character of creation was a fundamental principle of El Greco's style.  El Greco discarded classicist criteria such as measure and proportion. He believed that grace is the supreme quest of art, but the painter achieves grace only by managing to solve the most complex problems with ease. El Greco regarded color as the most important and the most ungovernable element of painting, and declared that color had primacy over form
