Annunciation is an oil painting on canvas executed ca. 1603–1605 by El Greco, produced as part of a contract to provide paintings for a church in Illescas, Toledo. The painting still hangs in the church, the Santuario de Nuestra Señora de la Caridad, with three others from the same set (Charity, Coronation of the Virgin and Nativity), whilst the fifth is now in the National Museum of Art of Romania (Marriage of the Virgin).
It is a simplification of the composition used by the artist for the Annunciation on the Doña María de Aragón Altarpiece.
Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
