Room 17 - Nativity of the Virgin

As soon as you enter the room, the attention is immediately captured by the extraordinary Nativity of the Virgin, a work that dominates the space with its beauty. The intense colors and the refinement of the details create an enchanting and immersive atmosphere. The tripartite composition depicts Saint Joachim, the newborn Mary, and Saint Anne, with elegant references to the everyday life of the 15th century. Above the scene, panels with the Dormitio Virginis, the Madonna of Humility, and the Funeral of the Virgin are displayed. In the past, the panel was attributed to the mysterious Master of the Observance, but thanks to new documentary evidence, the enigma was solved, revealing Sano di Pietro as the true author of the painting.
