One of my favorite artists is the Englishman Sir Edward Burne Jones, one of the Pre-Raphaelite artists. He worked with tapestries, paintings, mosaics and even stained glass. I especially admire his work relating to the legends of King Arthur.
Here is his Annunciation:
When Edward Clifford went to Moloka’i to visit Father Damien in, I believe, 1888, he brought with him “a water-color painting of the Vision of St. Francis, by Mr. Burne Jones, sent by the painter.”
It took quite a bit of googling but I've finally managed to find a copy of it at the quotes page at the shrine and museum of Blessed Marianne Cope. I presume the painting is now located there.
