No. 15 Annunciation - The Virgin Receiving the Message (1306) is a fresco by the Italian painter Giotto di Bondone, located in the Scrovegni Chapel, also known as the Arena Chapel, in Padua, Veneto, Italy. This work is part of a larger cycle of frescoes painted by Giotto in the chapel, which is widely considered to be one of his masterpieces and a seminal work of the early Renaissance. The fresco cycle narrates the life of the Virgin Mary and the life of Christ, and it is celebrated for its innovation in the depiction of three-dimensional space and the human figure.

The Annunciation scene specifically captures the moment when the Angel Gabriel is sent by God to announce to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Giotto's rendition of this biblical event is notable for its emotional depth and the use of space to convey the sacred narrative. The Virgin Mary is depicted with a humble and contemplative expression, receiving the message with grace and submission, which reflects the theological significance of the event.

Giotto's frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel marked a departure from the Byzantine style of the time, introducing more naturalistic figures and a pioneering use of chiaroscuro to create the illusion of depth. The Annunciation scene, like the other frescoes in the cycle, showcases Giotto's skill in creating a narrative that is both spiritually profound and visually compelling.

The Scrovegni Chapel and its frescoes were commissioned by the wealthy banker Enrico Scrovegni, and the work was completed between 1305 and 1306. The chapel and its artworks were intended to serve as a family chapel and a monument to Scrovegni's father, Reginaldo, who was mentioned in Dante's "Inferno" as being in Hell for the sin of usury. The chapel was consecrated on March 25, 1305, the feast of the Annunciation, making the depiction of this particular scene especially relevant.

No. 15 Annunciation - The Virgin Receiving the Message is a key component of the Scrovegni Chapel frescoes and is recognized as a significant contribution to the development of Western art. It is admired for its artistic innovation and its ability to convey a complex theological event with simplicity and grace. The fresco remains an object of study for art historians and a destination for art lovers from around the world.
