Over het schilderij
The Annunciation, with Saint Emidius is an altarpiece by Italian artist Carlo Crivelli showing an artistic adaptation of the Annunciation. The Annunciation is a religious event described in the Bible which involves the archangel Gabriel appearing to the Virgin Mary and announcing a sacred message. This altarpiece was painted for the Church of SS. Annunziata in the Italian town of Ascoli Piceno, in the region of Marche, to celebrate the self-government granted to the town in 1482 by Pope Sixtus IV. Furthermore, this painting incorporates important religious symbols and subjects such as the archangel Gabriel, The Virgin Mary, Saint Emidius, and the Holy Spirit to convey the sacredness of the scene. Lastly, the architecture and clothes depicted in this painting, as well as the techniques used to create this painting, showcase that this is a Renaissance piece of art.
