As a side note (or counterpoint) to the Henry O. Tanner ‘Annunciation’, I’ve always been fascinated by it’s relationship to this picture, Edvard Munch’s 1895 ‘Puberty’. Painted in Berlin, the image was widely distributed through lithographs and etchings. Munch moved to Paris the year after painting ‘Puberty’. The image, and Munch’s presence, would most certainly have been known to Tanner who was living in Paris in 1896.
