The Virgin Annunciate

The glorious Sienese tradition of wooden sculpture found in Jacopo a continuator of the highest rank: in the slender figures of the Annunciation that he carved in 1421 for the Collegiata of San Gimignano he still shows himself faithful to the sinuously elegant cadences of fourteenth-century sculpture of Pisan descent, above all in the refined figure of the Virgin.
