Carlo Crivelli (ca. 1430-ca. 1495) seems to me a most under-appreciated artist. This depiction of the Immaculate Conception is really extraordinary as to color, complexity and execution. You can view this work through the National Gallery of London's zoom feature (notable for both its excellence and its tacky watermarking).

Yes! The color is GORGEOUS! And it can only be appreciated with the zoom feature. Agree with your comment about the "tacky watermarking" too. Thanks for another great find!
