Description:
|
Possibly from the church of Sant'Egidio in Florence. At some point, the painting was probably cut down on the left side. Current scholarship has it dated to ca. 1440, comparing it to the Annunciation in Munich and recognizing in it the beginnings of Lippi's attachment to the style of Fra Angelico. The participation of Andrea del Castagno has also been suggested, with a date of around 1440. The portraits of the donors, more recently identified as Folco Portinari and Folgonaccio, were probably carried out with the help of an assistant.
