抄録

This paper examines the reason for why Fra Filippo Lippi chose Annunciation of the Death of the Virgin and Arrival of the Apostles as subjects for the central predella of his Barbadori Altarpiece. In addition to being very rare, these two subjects are painted as though the events represented by them are occurring simultaneously. This altarpiece was placed in the Barbadori Chapel, which the Confraternity of Orsanmichele had the responsibility of constructing. I demonstrate that the confraternity's charity was reflected in the choice of these subjects. The rules of the confraternity show that they promised the confession, extreme unction, and courteous burial to their members, allowing them to accept death peacefully. Annunciation of the Death of the Virgin shows the calm acceptance of death and Arrival of the Apostles suggests the attendance of one's deathbed and burial. To further demonstrate that Lippi constructed his work to suggest the charity of the confraternity, I perform a comparison of the central predella to source detailing its subjects, a comparison to preceding works, and an analysis of the composition. Most likely, my interpretation is congruent with the intentions of Gherardo Barbadori, a captain of the confraternity who ordered the construction of the chapel.
