Full details of the work (click HERE)
We offer this delightful Annunciation, attributed to a painter active in Tuscany, specifically from the Florentine school, in the first half of the 17th century. The style still reflects the pictorial stylistic features of the previous century, an extraordinarily fruitful artistic period that saw a succession of leading artistic figures, making Florence one of the most influential centres for painting at the time.
The work, certainly commissioned as an object of private devotion, follows the most typical iconographic pattern, with the Archangel Gabriel standing with outstretched wings in front of the Blessed Virgin, portrayed with unearthly beauty, who imperiously presents her with the supreme announcement. Suspended in flight above a cloud, he holds white lilies, symbols of purity and chastity, in one hand, while the other points to the dove radiating light, emblem of the Holy Spirit, surrounded by a halo of intense glows and plays of light.
The dove of the Holy Spirit, depicted entering Mary's room and heading towards her, is also a symbol of the conception of Jesus through the Spirit.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The canvas is in good condition and is paired with an antique wooden tabernacle frame.
The painting is sold with a certificate of authenticity and a descriptive iconographic card.
We take care of and organise the transport of purchased works, both in Italy and abroad, through professional and insured carriers.
Please contact us for any information, we will be happy to answer your questions.
If the work is purchased by non-British customers, an export permit will be required, which takes approximately 15-20 days to obtain. Our gallery will take care of the entire process until the permit is obtained. All costs for this operation are included.
