# Angel of the Annunciation [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [PISANO, Nino]() - Date: 1351-1400 - Technique: Wood, height 177 cm ## Commentary The theme of the Annunciation was particularly popular in Italy in the 14th century. Nino Pisano executed several monumental groups representing this scene, where the Angel presents himself before the Virgin. The angel of Cluny, whose pendant is perhaps a Virgin kept in the Louvre, presents all the qualities of this sculptor: sense of monumentality, search for suppleness and harmony in the drapery, attention to the naturalness of the gestures and to the softness of the faces. ## Related artworks - [Angel of the Annunciation]() - [Annunciation group]() - [Erythraean Sibyl]() - [Funeral monument of Archbishop Simone Salterelli \(detail\)]() - [Funeral monument of Archbishop Simone Salterelli \(detail\)]() - [Funeral monument of Archbishop Simone Salterelli \(detail\)]() - [Funeral monument of Archbishop Simone Salterelli \(detail\)]() - [Funeral monument of Archbishop Simone Salterelli \(detail\)]() - [Funeral monument of Archbishop Simone Salterelli]() - [King David]() - [Madonna with the Child]() - [Madonna with the Child]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
