- композиция:
- Traditional iconography is set aside and the airy, three-quarter length figure of the Virgin is moved from the centre to leave more space for the angel in the act of making his annunciation.
- In the foreshortened image above the Virgin's head the Eternal Father seems almost to be launching the dove forwards.
- The subtle play of physical poses and spiritual attitudes achieves a life-like quality never before seen in Venice, and in the figures of the saints in the side panels too the rhythms are sinuous and relaxed.
- The colour, not attempting to obey the coded decorativism of Veneto-Byzantine tradition, takes on a lively pmbre and a refined range of shadings:
blues, reds and greens paling into pearl-grey and light-pink reflections, fading into ure luminosity.
- Examples of this formal refinement, where already the fundamental characteristics of Venetian Gothic style are clearly present,
can be seen in the half-length figures of saints in the upper order of the polyptych; a whole range of human types caught in a variety of different poses.
