The work, intended for the convent of Sant’Antonio in Perugia, was begun shortly after the artist’s return from Rome, around 1460. Like the Polyptych of Mercy, it is a work of archaic style, certainly at the request of the patrons, with the main figures painted on a precious gold background and with a motif that imitates precious fabrics, perhaps inspired by Iberian models that the artist may have seen during his stay in Rome. The upper panel of the Annunciation is decidedly modern.
