L'Annonciation

ca. 1485–92
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 952
Cette précieuse Annonciation de Botticelli est campée dans un intérieur dont la composition repose sur une perspective centrale, créant une impression de grande profondeur. Au centre, une rangée de colonnes carrées divise l’espace monumental occupé par Gabriel, le messager, et celui, plus intime, qu’est la chambre de la Vierge. Le rideau partiellement tiré montre celle-ci dans une pose très humble. Bien que le mécène soit inconnu, il est presque certain que ce petit tableau était un objet de dévotion privé et ne faisait donc pas partie d’un ensemble.
