Francesco del Cossa1470 - 1472
Old Masters Picture Gallery, Dresden State Art Museums
Dresden, Germany
In a magnificent Renaissance building, the archangel Gabriel proclaims the birth of Jesus to Mary (Luke 1:26-38). True to the prophecy of the archangel, God the Father appears in the heavens and the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God (Luke 1:35)."
