# Annunciation [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [SCHNORR VON CAROLSFELD, Julius]() - Date: 1801-1850 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 120 x 92 cm ## Commentary This painting, signed and dated 1818, is one of a series of Marian subjects ordered from the Nazarenes by the canon of Dresden's cathedral. Its Roman execution is attested to by St. Peter's dome, rising in the background. Stiff, precise, with a loving re-creation of Albertian perspective, this archaising Annunciation merges Northern European and Italian fifteenth-century motifs in an ingratiating pastiche. ## Related artworks - [Clara Bianca von Quandt]() - [Decoration]() - [Madonna and Child]() - [Portrait of Victor Emil Jansen]() - [Seated Boy Playing a Pipe]() - [The Family of St John the Baptist Visiting the Family of Christ]() - [The View of the Archpriest in Olevano]() - [The Wedding Feast at Cana]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
