''No. 3 Scenes from the Life of Joachim - 3. Annunciation to St Anne'' is a fresco by the Italian master Giotto di Bondone, created between 1304 and 1306. This work is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy, also known as the Arena Chapel. The fresco illustrates a biblical event from the apocryphal Gospel of James, depicting the moment when St Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary, learns of her miraculous conception.

Giotto, renowned for his pivotal role in the development of Italian Renaissance painting, has imbued this scene with a sense of humanism and emotional depth that was revolutionary for its time. The fresco is characterized by Giotto's use of chiaroscuro to create volume and his departure from the Byzantine style that dominated prior centuries, instead opting for a more naturalistic approach to figures and space.

In the ''Annunciation to St Anne'', Giotto captures the intimate moment with a simplicity and directness that would become a hallmark of his work. St Anne is typically shown in a domestic setting, which Giotto renders with careful attention to architectural details, providing a sense of depth and solidity to the space. The angel, often depicted in motion, conveys the divine nature of the message being delivered.

This fresco is one of a cycle that narrates the life of the Virgin Mary and her parents, Joachim and Anne, culminating in the birth and early life of Christ. The Scrovegni Chapel frescoes are widely considered one of Giotto's masterpieces and a foundational work of Western art. They mark a significant departure from the medieval style of painting, paving the way for the Renaissance emphasis on realism and the human experience in religious art.

The ''Annunciation to St Anne'' is not only a testament to Giotto's artistic skill but also reflects the theological and cultural shifts of the period, as it emphasizes the humanity of sacred figures and the importance of the Incarnation in Christian doctrine. This fresco, along with the rest of the Scrovegni Chapel cycle, has been extensively studied for its artistic and historical significance, and it remains a key work for understanding the evolution of European painting.
