Annunciation

The Annunciation by Filippo Lippi is a Early renaissance tempera on panel that exemplifies the finesse of Italian religious religious painting. Created circa 1449–1459, it was originally part of the decorations in the Palazzo Medici in Florence, likely positioned above a door or bed. The painting depicts the angel Gabriel announcing to the Virgin Mary her divine pregnancy, capturing both spiritual significance and vivid detail characteristic of Lippi’s style. As a pendant to Seven Saints, it exemplifies the ornate beauty and devotional intent typical of the period.
