LIPPI, Filippino: Annunciation

🖼 Annunciation, 1489-91
Fresco
Rome, Italy

Golden light floods the loggia as Gabriel kneels before Mary, rendered in delicate tempera with intricate architectural perspective. Filippino synthesizes Florentine linear grace with Roman spatial depth, establishing Renaissance ideals of divine encounter through harmonious composition and luminous detail.
