The "Polyptych of Valle Romita" is a 1400 altarpiece by Italian artist Gentile da Fabriano (c. 1370-1427). It is composed of multiple panels, each depicting scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary, including the Annunciation and the Coronation of the Virgin. Known for its intricate details and opulent use of gold, the work is a significant example of the International Gothic style, a style popular in Europe in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. The polyptych is currently housed in the Palazzo Brera in Milan, Italy.
