I first saw this early renaisance painting of the Annunciation in reproduction on a classroom wall at high school.
When learning about drawing perspective recently I looked it up as well as pictures by Giotto. Now I appreciate the clever use of perspective in this painting by Fra Angelico.
The vanishing point is the small window near the virgin Mary's head. Though this is an insignificant detail the effect draws the eye there and so to the virgin.
