Annunciation (Guercino)
Painting by Guercino
Annunciation is a 1646 oil on canvas painting by Guercino, now in the collegiate church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Pieve di Cento, a few kilometres from the painter's birthplace of Cento. The artist used the same colours for Mary's clothes in his 1656 Immaculate Conception (Pinacoteca Civica F. Podesti, Ancona), along with the face of God.
