The polyptych of the Annunciation in Santa Maria in Castello in Genoa.
A splendid work of art in an equally splendid church in Genoa.
In particular, the gold frame of this work by Giovanni Mazone stands out with its particular and very elaborate Gothic workmanship.

The polyptych of the Annunciation was executed in 1470 for the chapel of the same name in the church of Santa Maria di Castello in Genoa. The elaborate gilded wooden frame was executed by Mazone himself with the clear intent of reviving the elements of Gothic architecture. The compositions of the predella represent four episodes of the life of Mary: the Marriage of the Madonna and her meeting with Elizabeth; the birth of Jesus; the adoration of the Magi; the flight into Egypt and the purification of the B. V. Annunziata.

The loggia of the second cloister of Santa Maria in Castello in Genoa.
A jewel in the alleys of Genoa that I discovered by chance a few months ago.
This splendid church and even more beautiful the three annexed cloisters were truly a surprise.
In addition, the visit to the complex, accompanied by a volunteer and completely free guide, was very interesting and made us delve into many aspects.
In these two shots I propose a part of the second cloister, all frescoed; in particular, in my opinion beautiful, the painting of the Annunciation.

It opens onto the second cloister and can be reached from the atrium; on the first floor is the Annunciation, a mural painting by Giusto d'Alemagna from 1451; on the vault, cross vaults with flaming leaves and tondos with Sibyls and Prophets, also dating back to the fifteenth century.
