Pala di Corciano (Annunciation) 1513

The Pala di Corciano, also known as the Annunciation, is a painting by Pietro Perugino, completed in 1513. It depicts the moment when the Angel Gabriel announces to Mary that she will conceive and give birth to Jesus. The scene is set in a beautifully rendered architectural space, with a serene landscape visible through the arches. Perugino's characteristic clarity of form and soft, luminous colors are on full display, conveying a sense of both sacredness and tranquility. This painting is a significant example of Perugino's mature style and his mastery of the early Renaissance artistic language.
