Annunciation

The Annunciation by Filippo Lippi is a delicate Panel painting from the Early renaissance period, created around 1449–1459. Executed in tempera on panel, it exemplifies the finesse of religious religious painting during this era. Originally part of the decoration for the Palazzo Medici in Florence, the lunettes were likely positioned above a door or a bed. While primarily created in tempera, some details might reflect early experimentation with oil techniques. The work is a pendant to Lippi's Seven Saints and offers a serene depiction of the Annunciation event, capturing the spiritual essence of the period.
