Signed \u201cTitianus f\u201d on the kneeler, the <em>Annunciation<\/em>\u00a0constitutes one of the cornerstones of the artist&#8217;s maturity and represents a rare episode of Venetian painting in sixteenth-century Naples. The canvas reveals the highest achievements of the mature Titian evident in the extraordinary luministic effects, in particular in the glittering robes of the angel, in pink and silvery damask, woven with gold threads, in the rendering of the flashes that imbue the pictorial material and in the freedom of the composition. The space is dominated by a single architectural presence, the imposing column behind the Virgin, while in the background, on the left, a glimpse opens up with an autumn landscape, with shades of brown and red that stand out against the blue of the sky. The Virgin gathers humbly with her arms crossed on her chest, while the angel reaches her with a dynamic gesture and a beam of light descends from heaven surrounded by a swirl of angels.<\/p><p
