Annunciation

Artist	Filippo Lippi
Year	1440–1445
Medium	Tempera on panel
Dimensions	153 cm × 144 cm (60 in × 57 in)
Location	Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica, Rome

The Annunciation is an Italian Renaissance painting by Filippo Lippi. Dating to 1440–1445, it is housed in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica of Palazzo Barberini, Rome.

The composition pivots around the Virgin, who occupies the centre of the scene. In the background, on the right, two small figures of women are riding a stair. The two donor portraits show the unknown donors kneeling behind a cordonata. That they were represented in natural size (i.e., in the same size as the religious figures) was a relatively new stylistic feature.
