"The Annunciation" is a polychrome wood sculpture created by Francesco di Valdambrino around 1423. The sculpture depicts the Virgin Mary, dressed in a red robe and holding a book. The sculpture is notable for its realistic depiction of Mary's emotional state, as well as the delicate details of her clothing and the book. The sculpture stands at 162 cm tall, and it is a fine example of early Renaissance sculpture, a period characterized by a renewed interest in classical art and a focus on humanism. The realistic portrayal of the Virgin Mary is characteristic of the artist's style. The sculpture's size and delicate features point to its intended purpose as a devotional object for a private chapel or home.
Comments
The angel Gabriel is telling the Virgin that she will conceive a child. The figures’ slim proportions and long drapery folds typify the so-called ‘International Gothic’, an elegant style that flourished during the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. This figure group was made to flank the high altar of the church of San Francesco in Pienza (Tuscany).
