GUIDO DI GRAZIANO
(active 1275-1300 in Siena)

The Annunciation

1280s
Tempera on wood
Pinacoteca Nazionale, Siena

The picture shows one of the scenes on the Saint Peter Dossal. It is an early and beautiful example of figures showing expression through pose, gesture and movement. Such emotional interchanges were to be taken further in the next few generations of painters in Siena.
