The Meeting at the Golden Gate c. 1493 - 1494

"The Meeting at the Golden Gate" (c. 1493 - 1494) by Macrino d'Alba is a captivating depiction of a holy encounter. The figures, likely saints, are dramatically rendered with expressive faces and gestures. The composition, framed by a rounded arch, is filled with rich colors and fine details. The work, now housed in the Städel Museum, exemplifies the artistic style of the early Renaissance, with its emphasis on realism and naturalism.
