Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy: the archangel Gabriel, sent by God, kneels with folded arms before the Virgin Mary to announce that by the power of the Holy Spirit, she will conceive a son to be named as Jesus, in this detail of an Annunciation fresco inside the Chiesa di San Domenico, the 13th century Dominican basilica in Piazza San Domenico. The fresco is attributed to the locally-born early Renaissance artist Spinello Aretino (c. 1350 - c. 1410), an influential painter who worked throughout Tuscany in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. Spinello, also known as Spinello di Luca Spinelli, came from a family of goldsmiths and was born and died in Arezzo. As a young artist, he painted frescoes in churches in Florence, including the basilica of Santa Maria Novella, but then worked extensively in Arezzo. He returned to the Tuscan capital after Arezzo was sacked in 1384, painting the walls and vault of the sacristy of San Miniato, before working in Pisa. Spinello's later works include scenes from the life of the Sienese pope, Alexander III, commissioned in 1407 by Siena's city fathers for all four walls of their meeting room, the Sala dei Priori in the Palazzo Pubblico. Spinello was perhaps assisted at Siena by his son, Parri Spinelli (c. 1387 - 1453), who was to follow in his father's footsteps, painting frescoes in both Florence and Arezzo. Although many of Spinello Aretino's frescoes have been lost or seriously damaged, his bold and highly decorative style is believed to have influenced the development of late 1300s and early 1400s Tuscan art.
