Description
Leonardo da Vinci’s Annunciation places the kneeling angel Gabriel before Mary in an enclosed garden. A lily rises from the angel’s hand, while Mary sits beside a carved lectern near the building. Trees frame a luminous landscape beyond the low wall.
Painted around 1472, the scene balances the two figures across a broad horizontal space. Their restrained gestures make the encounter calm and deliberate, while delicate plants and distant haze enrich the setting. Leonardo connects the sacred moment with a carefully observed natural world.
