Pedro Berruguete ‘The Annunciation’

Also on display, although not part of the exhibition, was Pedro Berruguete’s ‘The Annunciation’, which has recently undergone restoration. Painted c.1485 – 90, it was probably part of an altarpiece with scenes from the life of the Virgin, perhaps for a church in Palencia in Castille and León.
