Annunciation

The "Annunciation" by Filippo Lippi is a remarkable religious painting from the Early renaissance period, created circa 1449–1459. Executed in tempera on a board, it exemplifies the sophisticated detail and spiritual expression characteristic of the era. Originally part of the Palazzo Medici decoration, it was likely placed above a door or bed. The work showcases Lippi’s masterful use of oil techniques and delicate composition, serving as a pendant to his "Seven Saints," also housed in the National Gallery, London.
