关于这幅画
Pedro Romana (ca. 1460-1536) was probably born around Cordoba where he was active from 1488 to 1536. He apparently specialised in large religious paintings, especially altarpieces for a number churches in Cordoba. He was elected president of the painters' guild in 1515 but his fortunes must later have taken a turn for the worse, for in 1528 he was arrested for debt.

This painting originally formed the left lateral panel of an altarpiece, the destination of which has not been identified yet. The centre was The Virgin and Child, Hispanic Society of America Collection, New York, and the right lateral panel a Visitation (sold Kende Galleries, New York, 1942). The present painting depicts the Annunciation, an episode from the life of the Virgin, which illustrates the Incarnation of Christ. The picture is pervaded with Christian symbols such as the lilies and the pomegranate (on the gilded dado), which allude respectively to the purity and chastity of the Virgin. The overall composition shows the influence of both Flemish and Italian art and can be dated from the late years of Romana's career.
