Annunciation is an oil on canvas painting, now in the Uffizi in Florence.^[1] It and The Martyrdom of Saint Justina were bought in Venice by Paolo del Sera, intermediary and agent for cardinal Leopoldo de' Medici in 1654.^[2]

It is usually attributed to Veronese, though Giovanni Battista Zelotti, Adolfo Venturi and Arslan have attributed it to Giovanni Battista Zelotti, with Arslan initially suggesting it was a collaboration between Veronese and Zelotti. Fiocco argued it was an early work by Veronese, though Pallucchini's theory that Veronese painted it around 1555 (about the same time as ) is that now accepted by the majority of art historians.^{[citation needed]}
