"The Madonna and Child in a niche, with the Annunciation in the spandrels" is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance painter Antonio del Massaro, also known as Pastura II. Antonio del Massaro, active during the late 15th and early 16th centuries, was a prominent figure in the Italian Renaissance, known for his contributions to religious art and his distinctive style that combined elements of both Gothic and Renaissance traditions.

This particular painting exemplifies Pastura's skill in religious iconography and his ability to convey deep spiritual themes through his art. The central focus of the composition is the Madonna and Child, a common subject in Christian art, symbolizing the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus. They are depicted within a niche, which not only frames the figures but also adds a sense of architectural depth and sacred space to the painting. The niche serves to elevate the holy figures, emphasizing their divine nature and importance.

In the spandrels, the triangular spaces adjacent to the niche, Pastura has intricately painted scenes of the Annunciation. This event, where the Archangel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus, is a pivotal moment in Christian theology. The inclusion of the Annunciation in the spandrels creates a narrative link between the divine announcement and the realization of that prophecy in the form of the Madonna and Child.

Pastura's use of color, light, and composition in this work reflects the influence of his contemporaries and the broader artistic movements of his time. The delicate rendering of the figures, the detailed attention to the drapery, and the harmonious balance of the composition are all hallmarks of his style. This painting not only serves as a devotional image but also as a testament to Pastura's artistic legacy and his contribution to the rich tapestry of Renaissance art.
