• Resumen

  • The Annunciation by Antonello preserved in Palermo expresses a radical process of removal of the sacredness contained in the Annunciation tale of the Gospel, yet it expresses at the same time an intense spirituality. This shows an accordance to the sense of biblical religion, which develops from the Old Testament a progressive and not always linear transition from sacredness to holiness. The announcement to Mary appears in the painting by Antonello as an event entirely pervaded by a dynamics of freedom: the announcement is a break in the continuity of time, the announcer is not imposed as a sacred and thus constrictive presence, Mary in particular, with a gesture of his hand, indicates both her resistance and her acceptance resulting in an unreserved commitment. Finally her acceptance is a performing yes, which generates the word that she has welcomed.
