Sobre la escultura
Arnolfo di Cambio came to Florence after working in Rome, and became head architect for Florence Cathedral. His striking representation of the Annunciation is unusual in giving so much prominence to the building in the centre, with the dove of the Holy Spirit flying out of it. The original placement of this relief is unknown.
The relief was recorded in the middle of the eighteenth century as being in the cloister of the convent of Santa Maria Maggiore in Florence. At this time a small, later, figure of the standing Christ (removed shortly before acquisition) stood under the canopy at the centre.
