The Annunciation by Fra Angelico

The Annunciation marks a critical inflection point for Christianity. Keeping that in mind, painter Fra Angelico uses a golden laser beam to direct viewers' eyes. He wants us to see this scene in a super specific way. He uses rich colors, details, and lots of glorious gold. It's evident something hardcore is going down. In fact, among Christians this is THE event.

Fra Angelico was one of the very few canonized artists. That means in the eyes of the Catholic Church, he's a saint. Nothing's more Catholic than sainthood. So, this guy was the real deal. He didn't consider The Annunciation just a story of the angel telling Mary she 's pregnant with God's baby. He believed in it 100%. The depth of Angelico's faith shoots through this work. It works like the laser beam of light that strikes Mary in the painting.
