Description:
|
|
The Sant'Ansano altarpiece of the Annunciation (1333; Florence, Uffizi), painted for a side altar in Siena Cathedral, is original in its treatment. The requirements were novel; a major altarpiece in the new Gothic style containing a narrative event in its main panel. The effects are now marred by an over-elaborate late 19th century frame. The Prophets Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Isaiah and Daniel appear in the pinnacles. The altarpiece is, however, still dominated by its two central figures by Simone Martini. The altarpiece contains a dramatic confrontation of rare sensitivity: Gabriel, mouth open, enunciates the fateful words, which are embossed in the gold-leaf background, and the Virgin on her splendid throne draws back in alarm. The precise nature and extent of Lippo’s participation in this work are disputed by scholars, but his name appears in the inscription with Martini's (his brother-in-law) and date.
