Description: "Leonardo da Vinci's Annunciation is one of the most extraordinary and mysterious paintings of the 15th century. The essay revolves around one of the many questions raised by this masterpiece: the interpretative enigma concerning the open page of the sacred codex that the Virgin is reading when she is suddenly distracted by the angel's arrival.Through attentive iconographic examination, supported by a historical-artistic overview on the subject of the Annunciation, the authors reveal unknown aspects of the work linked to the Jewish tradition and Neoplatonic philosophy, providing a decisive contribution to enhancing our understanding of the genius from Vinci."--Page 4 of cover.
