Fra Angelico, The Annunciation and Life of the Virgin (in the predella), c. 1426
Now, the Annunciation by Fran Angelico that most people are familiar with is a fresco that's in San Marco in Florence This is a painting that was made for a church not far from Florence,...발음듣기
in Fiesole It is extraordinary in that the frame is original and so not only do you have the main panel, but you've got the predella underneath with all of its original framing elements.발음듣기
We have an Old Testament scene of Adam and Eve being cast out of the Garden of Eden, or "The Expulsion," by an angel.발음듣기
We see the hands of God releasing this divine light and a dove, which you can see just to the left of the column, which is the Holy Spirit.발음듣기
So the man and woman that cause the fall from grace and Mary and Christ who make salvation possible.발음듣기
And then we have God the Father looking down, in an almost classical relief sculpture in the center just above that column.발음듣기
The predella below, is a very condensed series of scenes of the life of the Virgin Mary, from her birth, to her marriage to Joseph, to The Visitation, through to her death.발음듣기
So, stylistically, one of the things I find quite important is... this sense of quiet and solemnity that Fra Angelico is able to achieve.발음듣기
And then you have this stark architecture, they are both too large for the space that they occupy...?발음듣기
But none of that is really important because this is a kind of reverential and invented exploration of beauty as a way of representing the divine.발음듣기
And I think that's a good reminder that not everything in the Renaissance is this linear movement toward naturalism.발음듣기
Whereas Masaccio is looking for an almost mathematically accurate rendering, here we see an artist who is looking to celebrate the decorative as a way of expressing the moral and the spiritual.발음듣기
Yeah, and if you look there are no cast shadows, there is not that kind of intense modelling that we see with Masaccio.발음듣기
