Alesso Baldovinetti, 1457. By permission of the Ministry of Culture – Gallerie degli Uffizi.

A harmonious symphony of nature and humanity. A divine discourse of color and form. Alessio Baldovinetti’s “Annunciazione” is an early beacon of the Renaissance. The painting melds the secular and the sacred, boasts meticulous detail, and exemplifies an exploration of spatial harmony. Colors flourish as the Angel and Mary embody virtuous grace, marking a celestial moment within the earthly confines of a well-tended garden. This composition tells a tale of revelation and serenity, where the quest for perfection meets a balance of human and natural elements. Today, Baldovinetti’s masterpiece sings with renewed resonance. Just as the original Renaissance signaled a paradigm shift in thought and creativity, so too does this painting invite us to dialogue with the past, weaving historical wisdom into the fabric of our future. A herald of the New Renaissance.

Since the dawn of the Renaissance, Florence has pulsed as a crucible where intellectuals, artists, scientists and musicians meld their diverse knowledge.Thanks to the groundbreaking patronage of the Medici, the city transforms into an expansive stage birthing an experimental community. Artist studios and academies, charged with vibrant fervor, emerge as epicenters of creative alchemy. From these Florentine depths rises an eclectic ethos, sculpting novel paradigms of beauty and morality. These same values are the pillars of Ferragamo’s vision whose ethos intertwines with a modern symphony of creatives – from creatives directors and photographers to artists, sound designers, and scholars. Together, they forge a dynamic community, shaping a multifaceted tapestry of contemporary artistry and thought.
