''Annunciation'' (1592–1596) is a masterful oil painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Federico Fiori Barocci, commonly known as Barocci. This work is celebrated for its vibrant color palette and dynamic composition, which exemplify Barocci's innovative approach to religious subjects. The painting depicts the biblical scene of the Angel Gabriel's announcement to the Virgin Mary that she would conceive and become the mother of Jesus, an event known as the Annunciation.

Barocci, born in Urbino, was an influential figure in the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque style of painting. His works are characterized by their emotional expressiveness and the use of sfumato—a technique of softening transitions between colors, which he possibly derived from the works of Correggio and the Venetian school. In ''Annunciation'', Barocci's use of sfumato is evident in the gentle rendering of the figures' faces and the angel's delicate wings.

The painting's composition is notable for its diagonal orientation, which adds a sense of movement and drama to the scene. The angel Gabriel is depicted in a dynamic pose, with flowing drapery that suggests the swiftness of his descent from heaven. Mary is portrayed with a humble and reflective demeanor, her posture and expression capturing the moment of divine revelation. The setting includes a room that opens to a landscape, a feature that adds depth and context to the scene.

Barocci's ''Annunciation'' is also distinguished by its use of chiaroscuro—the contrast of light and shadow—to create a three-dimensional effect and to draw the viewer's attention to the central figures. The divine light that illuminates the angel and Mary emphasizes the sacred nature of the event and enhances the spiritual atmosphere of the painting.

This work is part of Barocci's mature period, during which he created some of his most celebrated religious compositions. ''Annunciation'' (1592–1596) is housed in the Basilica della Santa Casa in Loreto, Italy, a significant pilgrimage site, which adds to the painting's historical and devotional importance. Barocci's influence extended beyond his lifetime, as his style and techniques were adopted by later Baroque artists, making ''Annunciation'' not only a masterpiece of its time but also a significant contribution to the development of European art.
