L'Annunciazione

ca. 1485–92
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 952
La scena dell’Annunciazione, capolavoro di Botticelli, è ambientata in un interno architettonico disegnato utilizzando una prospettiva monocentrica che crea l’illusione di uno spazio molto profondo. Al centro, una fila di colonne squadrate divide lo spazio monumentale occupato dal messaggero, l’arcangelo Gabriele, dalla raccolta camera da letto della Vergine. Una tenda drappeggiata è scostata, per mostrare la Vergine umilmente chinata. Anche se non si conosce l’identità del committente, questo piccolo quadro fu quasi certamente ordinato come immagine per culto privato, e non faceva parte di un’opera di dimensioni maggiori.
