Polyptych of the Misericordia: Archangel Gabriel1445-62Oil and tempera on panel, 55 x 21 cm Pinacoteca Comunale, Sansepolcro | |

This panel in the upper tier of the polyptych represents Archangel Gabriel of the Annunciation, who is similar to Fra Angelico's celestial beings, but it is as though a strong and heavy body contributed to making that model more alive and concrete. | |
