EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite "Annunciation of the Virgin Mary" by Luca della Robbia, a renowned Italian artist of the Renaissance period. Preserved in the Portrait Gallery of Città di Castello in Umbria, this low relief bas-relief artwork is a true masterpiece. The image showcases the delicate craftsmanship and attention to detail that Della Robbia was known for. The composition depicts an allegorical representation of the Annunciation, a significant event in Christian theology where Archangel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive Jesus through the Holy Spirit. In this portrayal, we see Mary as a central figure sitting on an elegant chair adorned with lilies, symbolizing her purity. She holds a book, likely representing the Bible's New Testament. Hovering above her is Archangel Gabriel with his wings spread wide and holding a wreath as a sign of honor. A dove descends from heaven towards Mary, embodying the presence of God's spirit. Della Robbia's mastery lies not only in his ability to capture human figures but also in his skillful rendering of objects and vegetation. The intricate garland surrounding this scene adds depth and beauty to its overall composition. Dating back to around XV century (15th century), this artwork exemplifies both early Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles prevalent during that time in Europe. Its timeless appeal continues to inspire viewers even today. Alinari Fratelli expertly captured this photograph around 1938, allowing us to appreciate Della Robbia's artistry beyond its physical location at Città di Castello. This print serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with religious iconography throughout different periods in history.
