Annunciation of Fano

Year	c. 1488–1490
Medium	Oil on panel
Dimensions	212 cm × 172 cm (83 in × 68 in)
Location	Church of Santa Maria Nuova, Fano

The work was successful, and a few years later he was commissioned to paint an altarpiece for the same church, the Fano Altarpiece.

Description

The painting is set within a four bay portico, a common element in Perugino's paintings from the 1480s (as, for example, in the Albani-Torlonia Polyptych and the Pietà). Behind it, is a background with hills featuring light trees.

In the foreground is the Annunciation, lit from the left. The angel, holding a white lily (symbol of purity), announces that she will bear Jesus; Mary, who was previously reading a book on a classical altar in front of her, has a surprised face. Behind them, in the upper center, is God in an oval with cherubim and seraphim, sending the Holy Spirit (portrayed as a dove) to her.

L'Annunciazione di Fano è un dipinto a olio su tavola (212x172 cm) di Pietro Perugino, databile al 1488-1490 circa e conservato nella chiesa di Santa Maria Nuova a Fano. Per il successo dell'opera qualche anno dopo al pittore venne commissionata un'altra opera, la Pala di Fano. Oggi tuttavia è stata messa in dubbio da alcuni studiosi l'attribuzione al Perugino, ritenendo questo dipinto una possibile opera giovanile di Raffaello Sanzio.
