LIPPI, Filippino: Virgin from the Annunciation

🖼 Virgin from the Annunciation, 1483-84
Wood, diameter 110 cm

Delicate light bathes the Virgin's contemplative face as she turns from her devotions, her graceful hand raised in surprised acceptance. Filippino Lippi captures the pivotal moment of divine encounter with Renaissance intimacy, blending spiritual mystery with human vulnerability through soft, luminous brushwork.
