Another one thing about your Botticelli artwork. It came to me at present moment that this photo resembles me also the works of Preraphaelits - Hunt, Millais or Rossetti.
It's interesting to compare "Announcement" by Botticelli with the work of Rossetti "Ecce Ancilla Domini". The way of painting people is generally very similar but the stress is put on different things. The work of Botticelli is full of tranquility and peace. The virgin Mary is ready to become the mother of Christ. The angel Gabriel kneels and is fool of warm and light. The Virgin Mary on Rossetti's painting looks frightened and unsure. She seems like she doesn't want to take part in the situation that occured. The angel is standing staight like a soldier. You can see his muscled arm. He didn't come to ask but to demand...

oh yes...i think the way of putting accents and portraying saints in Preraphaelits works much depends on church influence and doctrines of that period, there were some dogmas which applied to everything including paintings. Thank you for treating my work seriously!!!

Maybe not the orthodox church but Catolic Modernism which was a kind of fraction of the Catholic Church. It had its doctrines, denied dogmas and liturgy, beliving that faith is a personal matter and can only be individual, not social. The painting of Preraphaelits were rather influenced by Modernism than by Catholic Church.
However the beliefs of the Catholic Church had as big influence as Catholic Modernism that's why people at Royal Gallery in London critisised Preraphaelits because of not conventional showing the life of saints. England in victorian times took the paintings as a blasphemy. They were acustumed that the Holy Family must be presented and painted with idealism. And for example Christ In Parents' House by Millais doesn't apply to that rule and it shows Joseph, Mary, John Baptist, Mary Magdalene and Jesus in carpenter's workshop among shavings and dust.

I do treat you and your work seriously, my friend cause I'm glad that I can share my views with such interesting and smart man like you. Best wishes!!
