"Annunciation with St. Emidius" (1486) is a celebrated altarpiece by the Italian Renaissance artist Carlo Crivelli, showcasing his distinctive style that masterfully blends Northern European influences with Italian tradition. This artwork, also known as the "Annunciation with Saint Emidius," is renowned for its intricate detail, vivid colors, and the use of trompe l'oeil effects that lend a three-dimensional quality to the painting. It was commissioned to commemorate the granting of self-governance to the city of Ascoli Piceno by Pope Sixtus IV in 1482, a historical event subtly integrated into the narrative of the Annunciation through the presence of St. Emidius, the city's patron saint, who is depicted holding a model of the city.

The painting is housed in the National Gallery, London, and is considered one of Crivelli's masterpieces, illustrating his skill in combining architectural precision with a rich symbolic language. The work is divided into two sections by a marble parapet, with the Archangel Gabriel on the left announcing to the Virgin Mary on the right that she will bear the Son of God. The scene is set against a backdrop of a meticulously rendered town, likely inspired by Ascoli Piceno, and includes a peacock, a symbol of immortality, and a cucumber, symbolizing redemption. One of the most striking features of the painting is the ray of light coming from the left-hand corner, which passes through the city's walls to reach Mary, symbolizing the divine message.

"Annunciation with St. Emidius" is celebrated for its elaborate symbolism, the fusion of the divine with the earthly, and Crivelli's exceptional attention to detail. It reflects the artist's fascination with the natural world, his deep religious conviction, and his ability to convey complex narratives through his art. The painting not only serves as a religious icon but also as a historical document, capturing a pivotal moment in the civic life of Ascoli Piceno. Through this masterpiece, Crivelli has left a lasting legacy, offering insight into the cultural and spiritual milieu of late 15th-century Italy.
