An early Renaissance panel in 3 parts under 5 architectural framebreaking arches in relief - an Annunciation in the center with a saint standing to either side. The entire piece is bathed in gilded gold. Mary looks unhappy with the news and is recoiling, but the angel seems insistent if not bellicose. Text is written in the air, coming from his mouth and flowing across the center of the painting in a line, directly into her face.

Simone Martini and Lippo Memmi. The Annunciation with St Margaret and St Ansanus, 1333.
The most unwelcomed news - I'm surprised this doesn't get more play as a meme.
