Description: | An angel in profile facing towards the right against a blue background in an trefoil arch shaped frame. His arms are crossed over his chest and he holds an olive branch in his left hand. The right hand points upwards in a gesture of salutation. The angel has golden curling hair and wears a red tunic with dark blue collar, dark blue curling leaf pattern at edges and gold leaf on collar and cuffs and a long green skirt decorated with a single gold square pattern. The angel's wings are white on the underside with red, blue and green feathers on the outside, using the same range of colours as in the angel's costume. This was possibly a side panel for an altarpiece which would have faced the Virgin of the Annunciation. | Subjects: | religion (Annunciation) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Salimbeni, Lorenzo (Italian painter, 1374-ca. 1420) Æ Attributed to manner of Previously attributed to Lorenzo d`Alessandro da San Severino (Italian painter, born 1440 or 1450, died 1503) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8555... | Go to resource |
