| 15 Angelico The annunciation 5 The Annunciation late 1430s Fresco, 230 x 321 cm Convento di San Marco, Florence This fresco is situated on the wall of the Southern corridor on the upper floor in front of the staircase in the Convento di San Marco in Florence. Under the arches between the Corinthian columns are the slender figures of the Madonna and of the angel in devout converse, regulated with the rythm of gentle curves; in the background, on the left, the celestial fields with Tuscan cypresses; Gabriel's wings stretch out like a rainbow. It is the theme of the tabernacles which multiply themselves at the crossing of the ways; the greeting taken from the mediaeval hymnology and the invitation addressed to the passer-by and writings under the painting show Angelico's most cultivated devotion: Salve, Mater pietatis / et totius Trinitatis / nobile triclinium / Maria! The lighting of the scene is curiously illogical, the interior of the arcaded loggia is evenly illuminated, despite the fairly strong light coming from the left. ....Web Gallery Of Art | 15 ANGELICO GG THE ANNUNCIATION 5.jpg |
