| Description |  |
Hans Fugger, a wealthy banker of Augsburg, commissioned this relief for his chapel in Kirchheim - on - the Teck, Swabia, from Vittoria. Vittoria adapted the compositions of altarpieces by Titian in this masterpiece of Renaissance relief sculpture. The sculptor capitalized on the reflective quality of bronze to suggest the light flickering through the clouds and to heighten the dramatic scene between the angel Gabriel and the Virgin.
