About this trail:
The Annunciation
about 1440-5
STROZZI, Zanobi
1412 - 1468
NG1406. Bought, 1894.
- This work is probably the picture mentioned by the painter and biographer Giorgio Vasari (1511 - 1574), as by an anonymous follower of Fra Angelico. The altarpiece comes from San Francesco fuori della Porta a San Miniato, Florence (usually called San Salvatore al Monte), where a Lanfredini Chapel is recorded. The Lanfredini arms are on the capitals of the columns in the painting. Concealed in the border of the Virgin's robe is the painter's name ZANOBI.
The Virgin is seated at prayer in her bedchamber. The Archangel Gabriel announces that she will bear the Son of God. The dove of the Holy Spirit is seen above Gabriel (Luke 1: 26-38). In the background are a walled garden and a lily, symbols of the Virgin's purity. - Egg tempera on wood
104.1-5 x 142 cm.

The Adoration of the Magi
about 1428
STROZZI, Zanobi, attributed to
1412 - 1468
NG582. Bought, 1857.
- The King kneeling to kiss the Child's foot has handed his gift to Joseph. This panel, probably painted in Florence during the first half of the 15th century, is close to the style of Fra Angelico, although not of high enough quality to be by him.
This painting probably formed part of a predella, or lower section of an altarpiece. Similar panels exist of the 'Marriage of the Virgin' and the 'Death of the Virgin' (San Marco, Florence), and a 'Nativity' (private collection). - Egg tempera on wood
19 x 47.4 cm.
