Mosaic of the Annunciation
Mosaic of the Annunciation by Pietro Cavallini, 1291
Basilica of Our Lady in Trastevere
Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere
Rome, June 2019
“There are a number of 12th and late 13th-century mosaics in the basilica. Below are mosaics on the subject of the ‘Life of the Virgin’ by Pietro Cavallini (1291). Above is the mosaic representation of the ‘Coronation of the Virgin’ (1130–1143). The ‘Coronation of the Virgin’ sits atop an apse vault, and depicts Pope Innocent II holding a model of the church.” (Santa Maria in Trastevere, Wikipedia)
