Annunciation

Yes, 9 months today it will be Christmas!

I bought this little painting in Siena.  It's a copy of a detail of an altarpiece by Simone Martine c.1320.  It was painted in 2015 by one of a trio of Sienese siblings who paint using the ancient techniques of egg tempera and gold leaf.  The artist's name is Michelangelo Attardo Perinetti.
