Fra Angelico

The Annunciation

US$ 645.00

Gabriel kneels before Mary beneath a loggia of slender columns, while at the left Adam and Eve are driven from a garden of small bright flowers. The gold of the angel’s wings sits against clear architectural space — the old world and the new in a single panel. Painted around 1426 and among the most tender images of the Italian Renaissance.

Artist

Fra Angelico (c. 1395-1455) was a Dominican friar who painted, and was beatified by the Catholic Church five centuries later. He worked at the exact moment when medieval gold-ground painting met the new Florentine perspective, and he used both without apparent strain. Vasari wrote that he never took up a brush without prayer and never painted a crucifix without weeping.
