"Annunciation (1455-60)" is a notable fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Benedetto Bonfigli, located in the Chapel of San Brizio in the Orvieto Cathedral, Italy. This work of art, created between 1455 and 1460, exemplifies the stylistic transition from the late Gothic to the early Renaissance period, showcasing Bonfigli's mastery of both narrative and decorative elements.

The fresco depicts the biblical scene of the Annunciation, where the Archangel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Bonfigli's rendition of this momentous event is characterized by its vibrant color palette, attention to detail, and the harmonious integration of the figures within the architectural setting.

In the composition, Mary is typically shown in a contemplative pose, often reading or at prayer, reflecting the moment of divine intervention. Gabriel, on the other hand, is portrayed with a sense of movement and grace, usually bearing the traditional attributes such as a lily, symbolizing Mary's purity. The fresco is further enriched with symbolic elements and may include depictions of the Holy Spirit, often represented as a dove descending from above.

Bonfigli's work is significant for its artistic merit and its role in the development of Renaissance art in Umbria. His treatment of space, light, and perspective in the "Annunciation (1455-60)" demonstrates an understanding of the innovations introduced by earlier Renaissance artists, while also maintaining a distinctive style that reflects the regional artistic traditions of the time.

The fresco is an important piece within the body of Bonfigli's work and contributes to the understanding of the cultural and religious context of 15th-century Italy. It remains a subject of study for art historians and a point of interest for visitors to the Orvieto Cathedral, where it continues to inspire admiration for its beauty and historical significance.
