Annunciation (Le Nain)

Annunciation is an unsigned oil on canvas painting of the Annunciation by Mathieu Le Nain, from c. 1660. It is held in the Musée Rolin, in Autun.[1]

It was re-discovered by chance in a small church in Colombier-en-Brionnais in 1986 by an art and antiquities curator from Isère and moved to the town hall,[2] where Louvre specialists confirmed its attribution to Le Nain.[3] It was made a Monument Historique in on 21 July 1987 and acquired by its present owner.[3]
