Virgin Annunciate is a 1757 oil by Pompeo Batoni, a Rococo painting work, depicting Mary, held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
The painting depicts a woman with her hands clasped together in front of her chest. She is dressed in a blue robe with a pink undergarment visible underneath, and her head is covered with a brown cloth. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to draw attention to the subject. The woman's facial expression is serene, and her eyes are cast downward. Her hands are positioned in a way that suggests she is in prayer or contemplation. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet reverence. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Pompeo Batoni, an artist known for his religious and mythological scenes.
Pompeo Girolamo Batoni (25 January 1708 – 4 February 1787) was an Italian painter who displayed a solid technical knowledge in his portrait work and in his numerous allegorical and mythological pictures.
