Leonardo da Vinci Annunciation at Uffizi Gallery
Leonardo da Vinci at the Uffizi gallery in Florence
New hypotheses for the reading of this painting have arisen after its admirable restoration by Alfio Del Serra, which has rivived not only its luminosity and clarity of detail but also a stronger sense of perspective in the foreshortened architecture on the right, where the splendid red drapery in the room is now visible through the open door.
The sacred event of the Annunciation seems to take place at dawn, within a refined, aristocratic setting which symbolically emphasizes Mary's regal nature. Restoration has also revaluated the innumerable varieties of flowers studied from life in the meadow in the foreground, and the surprising luminosity of the landscape. From the cypresses and other trees beyond the balcony an incomparable imaginary veduta fades into the distance where the minute details of a lake-side city blend into the bluish tones of the bare mountains in the background with clouds hovering above them.
