The Annunciation — George Hitchcock

George Hitchcock’s The Annunciation, dated 1887, presents the sacred encounter between the Virgin Mary and the Archangel Gabriel with a lyrical, contemplative sensibility. Created in the late nineteenth century, the work brings naturalistic beauty and poetic refinement to the biblical moment when Mary receives the angelic message, evoking reverence, humility, and quiet spiritual wonder. This museum-inspired reproduction honours Hitchcock’s distinctive treatment of Christian imagery and the enduring devotional significance of the Annunciation. Printed as a premium matte fine-art print on 200 gsm paper, it brings a serene vision of Marian devotion to spaces dedicated to prayer, reflection, and sacred art.

Our museum-inspired reproductions are printed on premium 200 gsm matte paper, with edge-to-edge artwork and supplied unframed.

To prepare selected historical artworks for fine-art printing, we digitally enhance images where necessary, including adjustments to brightness, contrast and colour balance. These refinements are intended to improve print reproduction while respecting the character of the original artwork. Colours and tonal values may therefore differ from the original painting.
