La Anunciación

ca. 1485–92
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 952
Esta preciosa Anunciación de Botticelli está ambientada en un interior arquitectónico; la composición emplea un solo punto de fuga para crear la ilusión de un espacio de gran profundidad. En el centro, una hilera de columnas cuadradas separan el espacio monumental ocupado por el mensajero Gabriel del dormitorio de la Virgen, de carácter más íntimo. Tras la cortina corrida, María aparece de rodillas en señal de humildad. Aunque se desconoce la identidad del mecenas, es casi seguro que esta pequeña pintura era una imagen devocional y no formaba parte de una obra más grande.
