Lot Essay

This painting, together with a version of this composition sold at Christie's (New York, 22 May 1998, lot 66) and another version in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (inv. no. 12.168) records Lippi's design for the central panel of the high altarpiece of the church of Santissima Annunziata, Florence, now in the Accademia, Florence.

We are grateful to Mr. Everett Fahy for suggesting the attribution to Cartoni, also known as The Master of Memphis, as recorded by Jonathan Katz Nelson and Patrizia Zambrano in their 2004 monograph on Filippino Lippi.
