Henry Ossawa Tanner (1859-1937) was a famous painter whose mother was born a slave and remained one until her father was granted freedom. Tanner was named "Ossawa" after Osawatomie, Kansas, where the renowned abolitionist John Brown organized a rebellion.
One of Tanner's most famous paintings is Annunciation, an oil completed in 1898 and owned by the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In it, Mary is sitting in her bed and sees a golden rectangle of light, a divine presence. Her apprehension is brilliantly captured in her face and even her hands.
