Annunciazione

Paolo di Dono

Ashmolean Museum

The Angel Gabriel is sent by God the Father to announce to the Virgin Mary that she will bear the son of God (Luke 1: 26-8). A80 may have been painted by Uccello in the early 1420s: the figure types, the interest in perspective, the refined, decorative approach and unusual treatment of the subject are all characteristic of his work. Recent examination has revealed a lively underdrawing with pentimenti, including a change in the position of the Holy Spirit. With its lavish use of gold and ultramarine, A80 was an expensive image to produce.
