Mary, in a white nightgown with auburn hair and a halo, shrinks back on her bed as an unwinged, barefoot angel in white with flames at his feet offers her a lily; a white dove, a blue curtain and a red embroidery frame complete the near-white palette. Tate Britain.

The story of Ecce Ancilla Domini! (The Annunciation)

Christina Rossetti posed for Mary and the painter's brother William for the angel. The painting was first shown in April 1850 at the Portland Gallery in Regent Street and drew mixed reviews. Francis McCracken bought it in 1853 for £50 and the Tate Gallery acquired it in 1886.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti, generally known as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, was an English poet, illustrator, painter, translator, and member of the Rossetti family. He founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848 with William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. Rossetti inspired many contemporary artists and writers, such as Algernon Charles Swinburne, William Morris, and Edward Burne-Jones in particular. His work also influenced the European Symbolists and was a major precursor of the Aesthetic movement.
