The fresco originally stood high up over a door. The monumental arch inspired by Classical examples, with medallions on either side and a coffered barrel vault, is foreshortened from below, emphasising the scene’s illusionism. The Virgin appears to be looking out from a balcony against the open sky. The carpet ruffled by the wind, Jesus’ protruding foot and the coffers shown in perspective all contribute to the feeling of a living presence.
