Mainardi, Sebastiano
Italian High Renaissance Painter, 1460-1513
ID: 62407 Annunciation 1482 Fresco Loggia del Comune, Collegiata, San Gimignano It was supposedly Bastiano Mainardi, using the design of his brother-in-law, Domenico Ghirlandaio, who painted this fresco of Annunciation about 1482 in his native town of San Gimignano. This is largely a poor imitation of Leonardo's famous Annunciation. Only the lectern, the details of which are reminiscent of Flemish still-lifes, shows originality. The detail shows the left side of the fresco depcting the Angel. Author: MAINARDI, Bastiano Title: Annunciation (detail) , 1451-1500 , Italian Form: painting , religious
