The Annunciation in Frisco, at the Cap∣pucins in Parma; by Corregio. EPIG. CXXXIV.

THE Angel Gabriel with expanded Wings, To th' Holy Virgin joyful Tidings brings. She with a humble Mien, and modest Face, Receives the News of this transcendent Grace. A strange and glorious Light appears above, Around the form of a Descending Dove. Of Cherubs also you discern a Quire, Who this great Salutation much admire. Softness and Brightness in each Figure's found, I'th' Painter Lofty Thought, and Skill profound: That nothing's wanting here, you must confess, Corregio always painted with Success.
