    That is a beautiful painting. Definitely a fabulous renaissance piece. Thanks for sharing. I am not up on my church calendar so I didn't realize it was the Feast of the Annunciation. I love how I learn all kinds of new things from you. happy Sunday. Hugs-Erika

    I have seen at least two of his paintings. One was in Los Angeles and one at the Smithsonian. His art is always recognizable. Your Brooks Museum is very good about finding impressive art.

      The Kress Collection is a treasure. What they've done for our city is wonderful.
