"Announcement of the Death of the Virgin" is a fresco attributed to the Early Renaissance Italian painter Fra Filippo Lippi. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the choir of the Cathedral of Spoleto in Umbria, Italy. Lippi, born around 1406 in Florence, was a Carmelite monk who became one of the most esteemed painters of his time. His work is renowned for its delicate narrative style and the soft, lifelike figures that often feature in his religious compositions.

The fresco depicts the moment when the Apostles are informed about the impending death of the Virgin Mary. This scene is a common subject in Christian art and is known as the "Dormition of the Virgin." Lippi's interpretation of this theme is noted for its emotional depth and the use of space within the composition. The figures are arranged in a manner that guides the viewer's attention to the central event, while the use of perspective and architectural elements helps to create a sense of depth.

The fresco is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context. Painted during the 1460s, it reflects the humanistic interests of the Renaissance in its attention to perspective and the realistic depiction of figures. Lippi's work bridges the gap between the more rigid and stylized medieval tradition and the naturalistic approach that characterized Renaissance art.

As with many of Lippi's works, "Announcement of the Death of the Virgin" showcases his skill in capturing the human expression and the subtleties of gesture. The fresco is an important example of Lippi's mature style and contributes to our understanding of the development of Renaissance art in Italy. It remains an object of study for art historians and a point of interest for visitors to the Cathedral of Spoleto, where it continues to inspire admiration for its beauty and its place in the canon of Renaissance masterpieces.
