MASTER OF MARRADI | The Madonna Annunciate; The Angel Gabriel

This pupil of Domenico Ghirlandaio, active in Florence during the second half of the fifteenth century, had been called Maestro Tondo by Roberto Longhi after the rounded faces of his figures, but was renamed by Zeri in 1963. His name comes from the town of Marradi, to the north-east of Florence, where he worked in the monastic community, and where five of his works can be found.
