In a humble interior set before a rural landscape wrapped in mist, the celestial apparition is imbued with the tender and intimate mood so typical of Barocci. The divine figures painted in bright colours shine out from the grey of the background as does the vermilion drapery. In the lower right corner the two donors of the altarpiece are depicted. ## Related artworks - [Aeneas' Flight from Troy \(detail\)]() - [Aeneas' Flight from Troy]() - [Annunciation]() - [Annunciation]() - [Double Portrait with the Della Rovere Family Emblem]() - [Face of a Woman with Downcast Eyes]() - [Francesco II della Rovere]() - [La Madonna del Gatto]() - [Madonna del Popolo]() - [Male Figure Stooping to Lift a Cauldron]() - [Portrait of a Gentleman]() - [Portrait of a Young Lady]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
