Angel of the Annunciation, Christ the Redeemer, Virgin Annunciate

Agnolo Gaddi's panel depicting the Angel of the Annunciation, Christ the Redeemer, and the Virgin Annunciate (c. 1390) likely formed the upper register or pinnacle section of a larger polyptych altarpiece. This tripartite arrangement—with the Annunciation flanking a central Christ figure—was a standard configuration in Trecento Florentine altarpieces. The work's presence in the Cook Collection reflects the extensive dispersal of Italian Gothic altarpieces into British private collections during the nineteenth century.
