The Annunciation--By Lorenzo di Credi. Copyright, W. F. Mansell. The picture represents the visit of the Angel Gabriel to the Blessed Virgin with the salutation, ' Hail, full of grace.' This salutation is reserved for Our Lady alone, for rightly she is called full of grace who alone obtained a grace merited by none save herself. The feast of the Annunciation is celebrated on March 25. Lorenzo di Credi was an exponent of the Florentine School. He was born at Florence in 1457, and died there in 1537
