This was a very dark painting, sorry I couldn't get a better shot, but made me laugh out loud.
I looked at the painting and my first impression was woman getting a bit drunk and oops her top has fallen down - a bit whimsical. Expected a title of "young maiden drinking wine".
Then I read the description....first it was commissioned to be hung in a church...then it is Mary, BVM, when the Angel arrives to tell her she is going to be pregnant without sex, have the son of god as a child and don't forget it is angel with wings delivering the news.
A bit of wine certainly would have been needed - or maybe better to wake up in the morning and think "I must have been drunk that certainly didn't happen last night".
