A Study 1865-66 Julia Margaret Cameron British, born India This image, also titled After Perugino / The Annunciation, is one of more than 130 religiously themed images inspired by Camerons deep Christian devotion and her artistic admiration of Italian painting of the early Renaissance. Such photographs adhere to traditional iconography only in the broadest sense. Here, for example, Cameron follows the precedent of paintings of the Annunciation in which the angel Gabriel presents a lily—symbol of purity—to the Virgin Mary. More important, however, Camerons sincerity of sentiment imbues her work with an aura of devotion and claims for it a place equal to sacred art of the past. This print is inscribed For the Signor, indicating that it was a gift from Cameron to the painter G. F. Watts.. A Study 266256
