Dear mikebi50-ga,

Your question has a couple of mistypes but I believe you are asking
for Fra Angelico and his painting titled ?Annunciation?.

The artist painted several depictions of the annunciation where the
archangel Gabriel announces the news to Mary that she will give birth
to the Messiah.

These are the paintings and details of where they are now located.

These links will provide information on Fra Angelico (1400? - 1455)

"Italian painter of the early Renaissance, who combined the life of a
devout friar with that of an accomplished painter. He was called
Angelico (Italian for "angelic") and Beato (Italian for "blessed")
because the paintings he did were of calm, religious subjects and
because of his extraordinary personal piety..."
