PISANELLO: Annunciation

PISANELLO
🖼 Annunciation, c. 1426
Fresco
Verona, Italy

Delicate gold leaf and tempera render Mary startled mid-gesture as Gabriel approaches, their figures isolated in architectural space with intricate decorative detail. Pisanello's masterwork epitomizes International Gothic refinement while establishing Renaissance spatial clarity, bridging medieval and modern sensibilities.
