Description:
|
|
Described as "the culminating work of International Gothic painting". Commissioned by the Florentine banker and patron of the arts Palla Strozzi, it was originally installed in the family chapel in Santa Trinita. The figures wear splendid costumes, brocades richly decorated with real gold and precious stones inserted in the panel, with areas of built-up metal leaf. They are accompanied by a multi-ethnic procession that also includes exotic animals, to emphasize their coming from the Far East. The frame is also a work of art, characterized by three cusps with tondos portraying Christ Blessing (center) and the Annunciation (with the Archangel Gabriel on the left and the Madonna on the right). The predella has three rectangular paintings with scenes of Jesus' childhood: the Nativity, the Flight into Egypt and the Presentation in the Temple (the last a copy, the original being in the Louvre).
