Cavalcanti Annunciation, Stone sculpture in Basilica of Santa Croce, Florence, Italy.
Created using pietra serena stone, the sculpture measures 218 centimeters in height and 168 centimeters in width, depicting the biblical scene of Angel Gabriel and Mary.
Donatello completed this sculptural masterwork between 1433 and 1435, during a period of intense artistic innovation in Renaissance Florence.
The sculpture incorporates Roman architectural elements, including fluted pilasters with decorated capitals and a tympanum arch framing the central religious scene.
Visitors can find the Cavalcanti Annunciation positioned in the south aisle of the basilica, specifically located in the sixth bay near the Cavalcanti altar.
The restoration work performed between 1994 and 1995 revealed that the sculpture was initially painted white to replicate marble, with gold highlights still visible today.
