LIPPI, Filippino: Gabriel from the Annunciation

🖼 Gabriel from the Annunciation, 1483-84
Wood, diameter 110 cm
Padua, Italy

Golden light illuminates Gabriel's delicate features as he gestures in graceful contrapposto, rendered with soft sfumato against a luminous background. Filippino's ethereal angel exemplifies Florentine Renaissance refinement, capturing divine presence through psychological intensity rather than otherworldly grandeur.
