Annunciation

I never tire of reflecting on this version of the Annunciation. Painted by Antonello da Messina, it hangs in the gallery at Palermo. It offers us an archangel's view of the one to whom he has just delivered the greatest message of all time.  

Her veil, her book, the dark background, but most of all her hands and face say it all...
