I haven't done this since I started, so I thought I would take another shot at it. It is basically just an attempt to find artistic "memes" in history. (Meme:an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture. Coined by the increasingly annoying Richard Dawkins in his landmark book The Selfish Gene, which should be required high school reading, especially in Kansas.)
On with the annunciation, the moment Mary is told of the child she is carrying. Notice the similarities.
By Botticelli
By Leonardo Da Vinci (a painting that has always fascinated me, thought I cannot explain why. I am just mesmerized by it.)
I have no idea who did this one
Another anonymous
One more by El Greco, which is cool, but huge. So here is the link.
