This art work titled
Annunciation with St. Margaret and St. Ansanus was painted by the Italian
Gothic artists, Simone Martini and Lippo Memmi, in 1333 for the Chapel of Sant’
Ansano in Siena Cathedral. I like this picture because it depicts vividly the Annunciation
in which angel Gabriel announced to Virgin Maria that she would become the mother
of Jesus. With the bright gold background and affluent polish of all characters
in the painting, the picture shows the prestige of the commission in Annunciation
day.
