I particularly liked it, especially the faces on the people in the background. The effect of the light from the candle is remarkable and can't really be appreciated in a print or a photo. I bought a print of it, but the artist's name is not on the print and I didn't remember the name. Now, as a result of my cleanup at home, I discovered a photo slide with his name, Gerrit van Honthorst, a Dutch painter of the 17th Century.
Recently I was also shown a print of this painting of the Annunciation:
It is by a modern painter, Seiger Koder, a German priest and a prolific painter.
I prefer the first painting.
