EDITORS COMMENTS

This stunning piece of fine art can be found in the esteemed collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Tanner's meticulous attention to detail and his mastery of realism are evident in this oil on canvas masterpiece. The composition depicts a serene moment as Mary, also known as Maria, stands humbly before an ethereal presence. Bathed in divine light, she receives the message that she will bear a child who will become the Son of God. The artist skillfully portrays Mary's contemplative expression and her graceful posture, conveying both awe and acceptance. The Holy Spirit hovers above her in delicate wisps, symbolizing purity and divinity. Tanner's "The Annunciation" is not only a testament to his technical prowess but also serves as a powerful representation of faith and devotion.
