The Angel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will bear the son of God (Luke I: 26–28). A simplified version of 'The Annunciation' by Cima da Conegliano of 1495, now in the Hermitage, St Petersburg, this painting is a characteristic work. Gerolamo da Santacroce was one of a family of artists who painted in a conservative, eclectic manner for a range of patrons in Venice and the Veneto.
