# No. 14 Annunciation: The Angel Gabriel Sent by God [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GIOTTO di Bondone]() - Date: 1301-1350 - Technique: Fresco, 150 x 195 cm ## Commentary No. 14 Annunciation: The Angel Gabriel Sent by God 1306 Fresco, 150 x 195 cm Cappella Scrovegni \(Arena Chapel\), Padua The Annunciation takes place in the lower section of the fresco on the lunette above the chancel arch, in the two spandrels flanking the chancel arch. Mary and the Angel of the Annunciation kneel in a narrow building to the left and right of the triumphal arch. Its jutting balconies are so aligned perspectively that they absorb the real architecture that lies between them, and the triumphal arch thus seems to convey the angel's greeting. ## Related artworks - [Allegory of Chastity \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of Chastity \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of Chastity \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of Obedience \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of Obedience \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of Poverty \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of Poverty \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of Poverty \(detail\)]() - [Apocalyptic Christ]() - [Ascension of Christ]() - [Badia Polyptych]() - [Baroncelli Polyptych: Coronation of the Virgin]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
