ANGELICO, Fra: Annunciation and Adoration of the Magi

🖼 Annunciation and Adoration of the Magi, c. 1424
Tempera and gold on panel
84 × 50 cm
Florence, Italy

Soft light bathes two sacred scenes: Gabriel's gentle announcement to Mary, and the Magi's reverent adoration of Christ. Fra Angelico's luminous tempera and gold leaf establish Renaissance ideals of divine grace and spiritual intimacy within monastic devotion.
