The Perugia Triptych, also known as the Polyptych of Perugia, is a renowned early Renaissance altarpiece painted by the Italian artist Fra Angelico, a Dominican friar and one of the most eminent painters of the 15th century. The triptych, which is now housed in the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria in Perugia, Italy, was originally created for the Church of San Domenico in Perugia around 1437. This masterful work exemplifies Fra Angelico's skill in combining the spiritual expressiveness of the late Gothic style with the emerging techniques of the Renaissance.

The central panel of the triptych depicts the Madonna and Child enthroned, flanked by four standing saints, while the left and right panels each contain two saints. Above these main panels are predella scenes that narrate episodes from the lives of the saints featured in the altarpiece. The "Angel of the Annunciation," which is the specific focus of this entry, is one of the pinnacles of the triptych and is situated on the left wing of the upper register. It is a representation of the angel Gabriel as he appears to the Virgin Mary to announce that she will bear the Son of God, a moment known as the Annunciation.

Fra Angelico's "Angel of the Annunciation" is celebrated for its ethereal beauty and the delicate rendering of the angel's features and garments. The figure is depicted with a serene expression and graceful posture, embodying the divine message he is about to deliver. The use of gold leaf and the artist's attention to detail in the angel's wings and the richly patterned brocade of his robe reflect the influence of International Gothic aesthetics. However, the spatial coherence and the volumetric treatment of the figure also reveal Fra Angelico's engagement with the innovations of the early Renaissance, particularly the exploration of perspective and the study of light.

The Perugia Triptych is a significant work in Fra Angelico's oeuvre and in the history of Italian Renaissance art. It showcases the transitional nature of the period, bridging the medieval and Renaissance worlds through its stylistic elements and iconography. The "Angel of the Annunciation" is a key component of the triptych, capturing the spiritual intensity and artistic refinement that characterize Fra Angelico's approach to religious painting.
