The Annunciation is an Italian Renaissance painting by Filippo Lippi. Dating to 1440–1445, it is housed in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica of Palazzo Barberini, Rome.[1]
The composition pivots around the Virgin, who occupies the centre of the scene. In the background, on the right, two small figures of women are riding a stair. The two donor portraits show the unknown donors kneeling behind a cordonata. That they were represented in natural size (i.e., in the same size as the religious figures) was a relatively new stylistic feature.
