Exhibition caption - In the halo appear the Greek letters /CXC("lesous Christos"), and on the collar of the tunic the inscription REX REGVM ET DOMINVS DOMINANTIVM ("King of Kings and Lord of Lords*), from Revelation (19:16). Inspired by Roman and northern European models, the work was probably employed in religious ceremonies.
Christ as King of Kings

Exhibition caption - “The angel, who appears to have just landed with his beautiful many-hued wings, bows reverently before the future Mother of the Son of God. The scene originally targeted a very narrow audience because the first floor of the convent hosted the friars' dormitory, which explains the composition's simplicity compared to other versions.”
Exhibition caption - “Mary, looking very young and humble, is astonished by the angel's announcement but at the same time she shows that she accepts the lofty duty to which she has been called by placing her joined hands on her belly.”
Seasons Greetings & Happy New Year to all.
“Annunciation” - c 1442

Such exquisite detail in the angel’s wings & intensity of emotion in this near 600 year old fresco.

So very excited for the lecture tonight on the restoration of this virtually unknown silhouetted crucifix by Pesellino ca. 1450. Now on view at #FraAngelico at Palazzo Strozzi, Florence
#Renaissance #EarlyModern
Why would the #Medici have sold this? Hard to believe it is the painting from the inventory. Need to read the #FraAngelico catalogue entry
This gem from Detroit is practically lost in its gallery hanging across from the immense, and immensely beautiful, reconstituted San Marco Altarpiece. #FraAngelico definitely outshines Jan Van Eyck in this case. Was this once attributed to Petrus Christus?
Just spent the entire day with #FraAngelico. Why would such a wee crucifix need two painters to finish it. In the gallery at San Marco it is given to Lorenzo Monaco and Angelico.
I also love #FraAngelico. Enjoy!
