{"product_id":"virgin-annunciate-carlo-crivelli","title":"Virgin Annunciate - Carlo Crivelli","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined tempera painting by Carlo Crivelli, depicting the Virgin Mary in prayer during the Annunciation, characterised by precise lines and architectural detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarlo Crivelli, an artist active in the Marche region of Italy, produced this depiction of the Virgin Annunciate during the latter half of the fifteenth century. The work displays the characteristic precision and linear clarity associated with his output. The Virgin is shown kneeling before a wooden lectern, her hands clasped in prayer, while the dove of the Holy Spirit descends from above. The architectural setting, defined by brickwork and a tiled floor, provides a structured space for the figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrivelli often employed a distinct approach to perspective and surface detail. The wood grain of the lectern and the folds of the Virgin's garments are rendered with careful attention to texture. The palette remains grounded in earth tones, punctuated by the gold leaf of the halo, which reflects the influence of the International Gothic style that persisted in his work despite the broader shifts toward Renaissance naturalism. The pointed arch of the panel suggests its original function as part of a larger polyptych, a common format for altarpieces of this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis image captures a moment of quiet contemplation. The composition is balanced, with the verticality of the lectern and the figure of the Virgin creating a sense of stability. Crivelli's work is known for its decorative quality and its refusal to abandon the ornamental traditions of his predecessors in favour of the purely mathematical perspective favoured by his contemporaries in Florence. The result is an image that balances narrative clarity with a highly individualised aesthetic, typical of his career spent largely outside the major artistic centres of the Italian peninsula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/it\/products\/the-annunciation-giulio-bonasone\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Annunciation by Giulio Bonasone\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/it\/products\/the-annunciation-parmigianino\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Annunciation by Parmigianino\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/carlo-crivelli\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Carlo Crivelli →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Carlo Crivelli","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59485364912463,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59485364945231,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59485364977999,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59485365010767,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59485365043535,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59485365076303,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59485365109071,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59485365141839,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59485365174607,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59485365207375,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59485365240143,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59485365272911,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Virgin-Annunciate_Poster_CompositorV1_1794535592632.jpg?v=1794535642","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/it\/products\/virgin-annunciate-carlo-crivelli","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
