EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the preparatory cartoon for "The Annunciation" fresco in the Cappella Raffo at Misericordia Cemetery, Siena. Created by the talented artist Alessandro Franchi, this artwork beautifully captures the moment of surprise and wonder during the biblical event. In this monochromatic masterpiece, we witness a reading Virgin Mary as she is visited by Angel Gabriel. The expression on her face reveals both shock and awe at the angel's unexpected presence. Surrounded by lilies symbolizing purity, Mary stands in a state of pure astonishment. Franchi's meticulous use of chalk and pencil on paper brings out every intricate detail of this sinopia sketch. The delicate lines highlight Mary's ethereal beauty while emphasizing her innocence and divine connection. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to that sacred moment when heaven touched earth. We can almost feel our own hearts skip a beat in response to such an extraordinary encounter between mortal and celestial beings. "The Annunciation" preparatory cartoon is not just an artistic representation; it is a visual testament to faith, spirituality, and divine intervention. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our daily lives, miracles can occur unexpectedly - filling us with awe-inspiring wonder just like it did for Virgin Mary centuries ago.
