We are offering this delightful Annunciation, attributed to a painter active in the Tuscan region—specifically of the Florentine school—during the first half of the 17th century; the style still reflects the painterly characteristics of the previous century, an extraordinarily fruitful artistic period that saw a succession of leading artistic figures, making Florence one of the most pivotal and influential centers for painting of the time.
The work, certainly commissioned as an object of private devotion, follows the most typical iconographic scheme, with the Archangel Gabriel, wings spread, standing before the Blessed Virgin—portrayed with otherworldly beauty—as he imperiously delivers the supreme announcement to her. Hovering in flight above a cloud, he holds white lilies—a symbol of purity and chastity—in one hand, while the other points toward the dove radiant with light, the emblem of the Holy Spirit, surrounded by a halo of intense brilliance and play of light.
The dove of the Holy Spirit, depicted in the act of entering Mary’s room and heading toward her, is also a symbol specific to the conception of Jesus through the Spirit.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The canvas is in good condition and is set in an antique wooden tabernacle-style architectural frame.
The painting is sold with a certificate of authenticity and a descriptive iconographic sheet.
We handle and arrange the shipping of purchased works, both within Italy and internationally, using professional, insured carriers.
Please contact us for any information; we will be happy to assist you.
If the artwork is purchased by non-Italian customers, an export permit will be required, which takes approximately 15–20 days to process; our gallery will handle the entire process until the permit is obtained. All costs associated with this process are included.
