Annunciation

c. 1560
Oil on canvas, 110 x 87 cm
Fundación Colección Thyssen-Bornemisza, Pedralbes

In this painting the space is divided into two distinct fields. The foreground, where the Annunciation is taking place, is demarcated by the patterned tiling on the floor.. Where this floor ends, we encounter a space open to the light, in which stands an ensemble of monumental architecture offering a glimpse of countryside through an arch.
