Museum Mondays

Renaissance annunciation scene. Fanciful architectural elements. A feminine angel Gabriel kneeling (long hair, wreath around head) before the Virgin Mary. Gabriel is in red and white. Mary is in Blue and white and is standing. A dove looks on. Gabriel looks at the floor and holds a tall lily.

Annunciation, by Filippo Lippi
Alte Pinakothek, Munich
August, 2015

My favorite painting in the Alte Pinakothek. It is magnificent.

It is wonderful, but so are that Dürer self-portrait and the Madonna of the Carnation.
