Annunciation and Adoration of the Magi

The Prado's Annunciation and Adoration of the Magi is a masterful religious painting by Giovanni da Fiesole, known as Fra Angelico, created in the 1420s during the Early renaissance. This exquisite panel depicts the Annunciation and the Magi’s adoration, illustrating key moments of Christian narratives. Painted in tempera on wood, it exemplifies Fra Angelico's delicate style and spiritual symbolism. Originally for a Dominican convent, it stands as one of three similar altarpieces portraying the Annunciation, with its placement in Madrid attesting to its significance in Renaissance Early renaissance art.
