"The Annunciation" by George Hitchcock is an oil painting created by the American artist in 1887. The work is emblematic of Hitchcock's style, which often incorporated floral motifs and vibrant colors, reflecting the influence of the Dutch floral tradition and the French Impressionist movement. The painting depicts the biblical scene of the Annunciation, where the Angel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Hitchcock's interpretation of this moment is notable for its unique blend of symbolism and naturalism. Set in a lush garden, the painting features Mary amid a field of lilies, a flower traditionally associated with her purity. The angel, often portrayed in religious art with grandeur, is instead represented with a subtlety that harmonizes with the serene environment. The use of light and color in the painting creates a sense of divine presence and captures the spiritual significance of the scene.

Born in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1850, George Hitchcock went on to study law before turning to painting. He became an expatriate artist, living and working in Europe, where he was influenced by the Old Masters and contemporary trends in art. "The Annunciation" is considered one of Hitchcock's masterpieces and reflects his religious convictions and his fascination with the interplay of light, color, and nature.

The painting is a testament to Hitchcock's skill in conveying religious themes through a modern aesthetic that appealed to the sensibilities of his time. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of George Hitchcock and contributes to the understanding of American artists' engagement with European artistic movements at the turn of the 20th century. "The Annunciation" is not only a significant piece within Hitchcock's body of work but also within the broader context of American art history, illustrating the transatlantic exchange of ideas and styles during this period.
