The pictures were conceived as doors of a little tabernacle commissioned by Piero del Pugliese: it had to enclose a lost marble Madonna by Donatello. The panels are in fact painted on both sides, representing on the front The Annunciation in monocrhome and on the back Circumcision and Nativity. <P> <TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR="\#99CCCC"> <TR VALIGN=MIDDLE><TD><IMG SRC="/support/gif/listen.gif" BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE> Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 5 minutes\):<BR><A HREF="\#" onClick="w=window.open \('/music1/17\_cent/stradella\_sinfonia.html', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350'\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true"><B>Alessandro Stradella: Sinfonia avanti il Barcheggio</B></A> </TD></TR></TABLE> \*\*\* Keywords: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Author: BARTOLOMEO, Fra Title: The Annunciation \(front\), Circumcision and Nativity \(back\) Time-line: 1501-1550 School: Italian Form: painting Type: religious ## Related artworks - [Annunciation]() - [Christ Crowned with Thorns]() - [Christ with the Four Evangelists]() - [God the Father with Sts Catherine of Siena and Mary Magdalen]() - [Lamentation]() - [Last Judgment]() - [Madonna della Misericordia]() - [Mystic Marriage of St Catherine]() - [Noli Me Tangere]() - [Portrait of Girolamo Savonarola]() - [Prophet Isaiah]() - [Rest on the Flight into Egypt]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
