COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
Lodovico was an ambitious artist, but unlike Annibale he worked in a local setting that satisfied him and that rapidly recognized him as its leader, at his cousin's expense. Starting with the Annunciationthe term for the event described in the Gospel according to St. Luke, when the Angel Gabriel brings the Virgin Mary the news that she is to bear her son, Jesus Christ. The Annunciation was among the most widespread pictorial subjects of European art during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance., Lodovico perfected his style. Less resolute than Annibale in rejecting every Mannerist memory, he was carefully selective; evocations of Parmigianino, Niccolò dell'Abate and Pellegrino Tibaldi were revisited in a naturalistic vein, and used to imbue the compositions with a restless but emotionally enthralling tone.
