Virgin of the Annunciation

religious

Between 1380 and 1450 the international Gothic style spread throughout Europe. Also known as the "art courtois", it is characterized by a taste for description of court life, Gothic arabesques and ornemental refinement. The Angel and the Virgin of the Annunciation of Gherardo Starnina, are fine examples of this tendency.
