Why it's great
The angel bursts into Mary's room, and she turns back in alarm, while a cat leaps away in fright. Lorenzo Lotto painted it in 1534, and the scared cat is the best part.

Lorenzo Lotto was a Venetian painter born in 1480, who traveled a lot and painted psychologically sharp portraits. His religious paintings have a quirky charm. He died in Loreto in 1556.
