The Palermo version of the "Virgin Annunciate" is one of the most famous paintings by the Italian Renaissance artist Antonello da Messina. Probably painted in Sicily in 1476, it shows Mary interrupted at her reading by the Angel of the Annunciation.
It can be said that this painting revolutionized the way artists went about creating artwork during the time period which this painting was created; the way Messina painted the hand, giving it a sort of three-dimensional shape, changed the way artists painted, making their works even more realistic.
