Crivelli—
The Annunciation, with Saint Emidius
(1486)
Mary, in green, is visited by the dove of the Holy Spirit, who beams down from the distant
heavens in a shaft of light.
Like Van Eyck's wedding, this is a brilliant collection of realistic details. Notice the
hanging rug, the peacock, the architectural minutiae that lead you way, way back, then
bam!—you have a giant pickle in your face.
