The annunciation by Fra Angelico

The scene is showed in a marble portico made by arches and thin columns. In the groin vault, painted in sky blue, golden stars shine. The virgin is sat on the right. It seems that at the arrival of the angel the Virgin has suspended the reading of her book that now held on her lap.
In the backgruond on the left, we can see Aden and Eve wearing fur clothes, being expelled from Paradise end being led out by an angel.
In the upper left corner God´s hands are sending a ray of golden light straight to the chest of the Virgin. The scene represents the bigining and the end of sin.
Apart from this issue of religion and sin, the picture for me is a scene of peace and harmony pictured in beautifull colours in which something beautifull, like the birth of a child, is going to happen.
