EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing print showcases a captivating detail from the base of the Tabernacle, created between 1349 and 1359 by renowned Italian artist Orcagna, also known as Andrea di Cione. The photograph captures an exquisite marble relief that adorns the Orsanmichele Church and Museum in Florence, Tuscany. In this particular detail, we are transported back to a momentous event in Christian history – The Annunciation.

The intricate Gothic and Renaissance influences are evident in every delicate curve and meticulously carved feature.

Her serene expression reflects her acceptance of God's will.

This piece exemplifies how art can transcend time and transport viewers into moments imbued with spiritual significance.
