Many altarpieces by Maulbertsch are to this day in their original locations. But this example, originally from the chapel in Schloss Thürnthal in Lower Austria, entered the Belvedere’s collection in 1953.
It shows Mary kneeling before and visibly moved by the Holy Scripture when the Archangel Gabriel suddenly appears to her. He points toward heaven and prophesies the birth of a son. Maulbertsch created this painting together with assistants from his workshop. It is thought that he painted the kneeling Mary, the angel of the Annunciation, and the cherub, while the remaining motifs were probably executed by artists from his workshop.
